Can you supply me the correct one and then I can send it. Cheers
However, this morning it locked out and stayed locked out despite numerous attempts to start the burner by setting the switch to off, wait 10 seconds, and switching it back to timed. I have opened the top panel to have a look inside and I observe the following when I try to restart the burner: 1. The motor on the right hand side spins okay and appears to be 2. I can hear the normal clicking sound when I do the reset. But no green light (burner) - just orange (lock out). This is the first time this has happened. I have neglected to service the boiler as it is in a fairly new property. I guess the boiler is about 5 years old now, from the time I moved in. Can someone here advise? Sean perhaps? Do I need to call someone out? If so, any suggestions and any idea on costs? I'm in central Edinburgh.
I had the boiler serviced last week and all appeared fine until the plumber turned the boiler back on. The water works fine but the heating doesn't. After playing about with it for a while he said that it was the control panel which lost all of it's settings when it was powered down for the service and which would cost me about £30. Since then it has been ordered for £94, although a week later it is still not here. I'm just worried that I'm either going to have to pay for something that the engineer broke or I will have this problem every time I get the boiler serviced. Any ideas?
thanks sean
You seem to have solved alot of problems for people who have the powermax boilers, hopefuly you can point me in the right direction. I have just moved into an apartment that has been vacant for sometime and is fitted with the powermax 185. I've tried starting up the boiler with little success. I have the users manual and have followed the instructions. When switching from the 'O' (off position) to the 'Cont' position the fan starts up (as mentioned in the manual) but the green neon remains off, suggesting the burner is not firing up. I have followed the instructions to switch off wait about 15-20 secs and try again but to no avail. I've checked the Gas meter and it is moving so I believe gas is being supplied..............any suggestions?

I posted some time ago about the problems I'd been having with the system locking out, but it only seemed to be a problem during the colder weather. I've had the boiler serviced by my usual engineer, and once again mentioned the problem, once again said he did not know what the problem was, I suggested the things that Sean mentioned. After the service he said the only thing he could find wrong was the gap in the ignition plug (not sure if this is the right term), which he corrected. We have since had several days of cold weather so far all is well with no lock outs!!! Thanks to Sean for the pointers. Mark
I have the dreaded Powermax 155 and it keeps locking out. I have tried to get it serviced but cannot find anyone prepared to work on it. Does anyone know of and engineer in the Beds area?

I believe it is a sealed unit it is approx 5 years old.
