Couple weeks ago I was called to a customer complaining her hot water was extremely hot. When checking the system I found the 3 port to be stuck in the mid position which explained the hot water issue. While I was there I noticed the pump was an old bronze pump so advised it would be a good idea to also replace which she agreed. So new pump, new 3 port. System drained and filled up fine. Old pump was a little mucky but nothing out the ordinary for it age. House is only a small 3 bed with 7 rads. After running the system, everything worked fine. Customer has since contacted me explaining the boiler has needed resetting 3 times. Fault code flashing 74 which points to no water circulation. She also mentioned this had happened a couple times before my first visit so is an existing problem.
The boiler manual is a little vague as it just says check system operation, check pump and check water is in the system. I know these are fine so any ideas on what could be causing the fault?
 
Is the pump wired from the boiler?
Is there a flow sensor on this boiler and if there is have you checked its function?
Is this a Vokera? It says biker on the title so I presume that’s predictive spelling?
 
Haha yes just realised that, stupid predictive texting. It is a vokera. I haven't checked anything in the way of sensors as I haven't checked the boiler over. I cant get back to the boiler till mid next week so ive just told the customer to reset for now. The pump is wired into a wiring centre but had overrun so is linked to the boiler.

Is it this one?

I would start by checking how the pump is wired and looking at the flow sensor?
Don't do much with Vokera personally but that's where I would start.
I don't do much with any boiler in terms of repair, I'll probably give vokera a call on Monday. Chances are when I go look at the boiler it will be after hours so hope they can give me some pointers before I turn up

Ideal Logic 24, Previous problem was that the hot water was only cold or barely warm if the heating was in use. If heating was off and boiler cold then would get hot water most of the time. Changing the flow cartridge about 2 years ago (when I moved in) solved this problem enough to suffer it as...

Every two weeks or so I have to go and top up the system because the hot taps are running cold. Boiler display is flashing 0.6 bar and I fill up to 1.3. I've had an engineer look inside the boiler and he can't see anything wrong. I've checked the pipes all over the house and cannot see any...

Our kitchen mixer tap has started dripping. Like so much of the plumbing in our almost new build bungalow, it is lacking! The plumber didn't install any isolating cocks in the H&C feed to the tap so how can I identify which of the valves is passing? Shut the whole H&C water system down?

Hello, I am seeking some advice, I have a POTTERTON PROMAX 28 COMBI Boiler and I noticed yesterday that the water around the house is no longer warming up. The heat exchanger has been changed 6 months ago, so I do not believe it is that. Does anyone have any ideas on what it could be? Thanks
