Just had an Engineer come round who is a friend of a friend (Corgi registered but mainly does new installs not faults) and using the Installation and service instructions book that came with the boiler and following the Fault finding chart seems to think the Gas Valve (P168) is at fault. Any other ideas welcome? also any idea where I can get parts off the shelf because it's only about 2degC outside at the moment...and fairly chilly inside Just for information I live on a fairly new estate and the houses around me have the same boiler, one neighbour has replaced the whole boiler and another up the street has had endless problems.
How do I tell if it's a sealed system or otherwise?
Wonder if anyone can help with a problem I am having with my Powermax 185. When boiler ignition cycle initiates boiler lit is indicated for approx 1 second then extinguished. This cycle is repeated 4 or 5 times sometimes the boiler remaining lit and other times a lock out is indicated. Does the boiler lit indication definitely mean the boiler is lit? and if so why would the boiler go out. I would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks Alex
I am no plumber just a consumer, my 155x has similar problems. That said you will need to get a plumber out, also check that you have the original Installation and Servicing Instructions for your 185. In the above document is a flow chart for diagnostics, mine was checked by the Plumber as follows..... - Cleaned and refitted electrodes According to the chart mine says it's the Gas valve at fault but obviously it's not 100% gauranteed.....probably not 50% gauranteed. This is the kind of test your plumber (sorry heating engineer ;-) )will need to carry out to have any clue waht is wrong. After this episode I'm getting Insurance cover for my system. Steve
when the green light is on the boiler is alight
Thanks for prompt reply. Do you know where I would get the parts you have mentioned? Thanks Alex

I have a Power 185 Boiler, this morning I have lost the hot water. Any ideas. Many thanks
Today our Powermax started to misbehave itself with a similar problem. We get a small amount of hot water (less than a basin full) then it runs cold, though still a little warm. Could this be due to the mixer valve, and where can I source a replacement from please. Many thanks. Mike
Is this a DIY job, (I am reasonably proficient with plumbing) or is it best to call someone in? Also thanks for the part number, but where can I source a replacement valve. My local plumbers merchant came up blank for Powermax spares. Many thanks. Mike
