Potterton lynx Combi

[ID]

I've come back from a few days away and the boiler seems to have given up the ghost.

The control panel is working - lights are coming on, but it's not firing up to heat the hot water on demand and the heating has not come on.

The pressure is fine - anyone have any idea what could be wrong (apart from it being extremely old)

many thanks

try re-setting it first, it can be red or black. when you find them if there press it back in again. failing that it could be a few things

boiler have a tender to shut them selves down. take the baxi 105 it shuts down all the time. try turning your boiler off at the spur for 1 min. Look for any kind of re-se switch.

i think there will be a little red button that may have popped out, simply press the red button back in again. I aint sure on the model as i repair hundreds of boilers and its hard to remember them all, but look under the boiler for a little red pop up button, or on top of the boiler, or just inside the fron case...

potterton combi boilers always go to re-set mode. look for red or black buttons, there will be a red button under the boiler or ontop or inside, it will be RED and sticking out, press it in till you hear it click!

your boiler should come back on again..
