Hi there,
We recently bought our house and knew the boiler was old so had British gas come and check it. Apparently whole system works fine no problems just not up to current standards etc.
Have just come to program the radiator in bathroom to dry our towel and now starting to have issues.
The timer is a potterton ep 2000. It clearly has on, on once, twice and off. I set my 2 times and put it to on twice but it seems to be on constantly! Override will switch it off but then it doesn't come back on at next timer slot.
Any ideas or advice? Do you think I need a new timer/boiler/both?
We have no instructions for timer and I can't find any online.

Sometimes, when these units are turned off, they revert to the same time for ON and OFF.
Are the programmed ON/OFF times different?
And one not am and the other pm ....... ?? Both the ON and OFF should 'generally' be in the same 12 hour period.Bringing Happiness where there is Gloom!0 -

I seem to recall I had one of these in a previous house - it had separate on/offs for Mon-Fri and Sat-Sun as I recall - sure you have the current day/time set correctly, and that you're also stepping through weekday mode?
There's a manual online somewhere.0 -
It's unfortunately doesn't have weekend it's just a 24 hour timer.
Have checked that I've set the on off times right, have literally got it on at 6.30-6.50am and 9.30-9.50am and time is definitely set to pm now.
I imagine it is domething as simple as that though!0 -
