Hello All,
(First posting so please make allowances!)
Have a Potterton F40. Was very slow to ignite and sometimes flame went out although fan kept going for maybe 30mins during "On" cycle. Radiators cooled off. Got a new PCB off eBay and fitted it.
Much better now except that:
Both at initial "On" at start of timer period, and during "On" cycle when flame restarts, fan starts running OK but flame isn't ignited for another 4 minutes. So you just have fan and pump going but no flame.
Radiators get hot OK once lit and flame does ignite straight away when it does get a spark but it just doesn't sound right.
Don't have a lot of cash just now (not working at the moment so don't want to call in engineer if it isn't a real problem).
Many thanks for any advice/tips,
