[no heating]

i have a potterton performa 24 combi which has stopped working this afternoon. the flame failure light has come on and won't reset, resulting in no heating etc.....

on trying to reset it, the pump and fan start, run for about 3 sec's then it shut down.

anybody got any ideas please!?

is it a he(high efficiency?) is there a white over flow pipe coming off the rh side?

and a mechanic is equal to a plumber in terms of problem solving

 

[no heating]
