Potterton Envoy 40 trouble ....please help!

[Lorrellish]

We have a potterton envoy 40 (duh)! and on sunday the fan broke down, out came plumber and replaced fan. noticed boiler took about 45 minutes to re-light kept coming up t. and then waiting 5 minutes and trying to light again but it did light in the end.
On Monday night the fuse blew I replaced it but the system took about 2 hours to relight again with the t. business...
Wednesday the plumber comes back and replaces the iginiton chamber (hse)? everything fine untill again the fuse blew.....

Could this be caused by a leak? was thinking a small leak in the boiler (Envoy 40 is an condensing boiler, so I know the waste is corrosive) could have done in the fan and if still leaking could it still be causing problems???

any advice would be great......

sounds like condense has almost certainly got into wiring or onto fan best advice is to call heateam part of baxi/potterton group for one off repair because it sounds like potentially expensive fix also with heateam you get a 1 year warranty

Thanks Solman I thought that might be the case!

if this boiler hasn't received some top notch tlc in the last few years then it will probably need a few bits that are prone to fail and cause condense leaks. A potterton fixed price repair would probably be a good deal as I'd be looking to turn up at your door with the following.
Burner/sump seal
Burner/sump support brackets
flue gator
burner seal
condense/sump conecting hose
insulation pads X4
glow coil ignitor
sensing electrode

I wouldn't be too surprised if you genuinely need everything on that list!

if a butterfly has flown past recently you will need the small plastic screw in the flue outlet too.
