Hi,
We are having problems with our Potterton Powermax HE. It keeps locking out with the A0.1 code but its quite random. It started off with being once a week, and then in 1 day I had to reset it about 10 times but then it started working again, then had to be set once a day until this weekend it didn't really want to play. Lucky if it stayed on for 30mins.

Any ideas on what could be causing this?

Thanks

Jin77,

Thanks for returning and giving us the outcome. My apologies for not spotting your question in the first place.

In my experience though, this fault returns when the probes have been cleaned. A new PCB is usually the fix if this happens. And yes, I thoroughly recommend the Powermax course at Baxi!

Mike
