Hi,
I have a powermax 140 boiler and for the 4th time the programmer/clock has died on me.
The boiler is out of warrenty now and this is the 4th clock i've had to have fitted in as many years so its becoming costly.
A plumber I know use to fit them for george wimpey and he says its a common problem. He reckons it is because the motor sits directly behind the clock so it is magnetically frying the chips.
There is a reset for the clocks which is to hold down the minus and enter button. The faulty clock actually powers up for about 2 seconds but quickly dies again.
-Has anyone else expirienced this problem wih any of the powermax range?
-Does anyone know or can suggest a solution to prevent this from happening again?
-Does any one have any other comment regarding this?
I have rang powermax and they claim not to know of the issue but they won't admit anything so not to admit blaim. I have the complaints department address and will be writing a letter backed up with reciepts of new clocks purchased and hopfully letters from plumbers who have seen the issue. If any one else has seen it please contact me. It would be handy to get letters from both customers and people in the trade, so to back up both mine and anyone else experiencing this issue.
Many thanks for anyones help
James
