Potterton puma modulation control board.

elmo76

I have a potterton puma combi boiler and something on the modulation board has blown,does anybody know if I have to replace the whole board or just the blown bit?

Also is it a job for the professionals, as I have the installation manual to it here?

Thanks

Probably wise to change the board in case of other damage to it!

Regarding to whether it’s a job for the professionals…well as its a gas appliance the sensible advice would be to have the boiler looked at by a Corgi registered engineer as there could be a reason why the board has developed a fault.

It's worth searching or posting your question on news:uk.d-i-y as this is a common topic there.

The board on my puma blew about 4 years ago during a cold snap (sods law).

I was so desperate to get someone out,i called out a company from the Yellow pages.

They charged me £85 per hour plus £240 for the board,it cost me over £500 at the time,and i was getting upset because when he came with new part 3 days later! he was ringing his boss and ordering supplies for other jobs on his mobile,it's then that i told him that in my oppinion he was stretching the job out,so he could charge me an extra hour or so,he didn't like it,but he could see i was very anoyed with him.

I did ring to get a price for the circuit board the next day,and it was about £80,i was furious,but trading standards said there was nothing i could do.

You are at an advantage that you know what the problem is,so i would try and replace it myself.

p.s the whole board is replaced.

thanks. Ive got the installation manual and found what the fault was through that and it gives me instructions on how to replace. Rang for a part and its going to be about £135. Just hope that Ive read it right!
