I have the worlds worst boiler! We have spent over £800 on the boiler in the last 2 years and it is only 5 years old! Anyway now the latest issue is the following. It stopped and flashed up f13 which is related to the PCB. I took opened up the PCB and checked all connections. All were fine so I replaced the fuse. Now it goes no problem. How ever to check it I did a reset ie turned from 1 to 0 and back. It blew the fuse again. When I replace the fuse again it goes no problem. Turns off and on with the auto timer for both water and central heating. Any ideas on why the fuse could be blowing on reset? (obvious answer is don't reset... I know)
 
You spent £800 on parts!!!!
Are you mad ? Write it off as complete lemon and look at getting a new one and get someone who is recomended to install !!
 
Unfortunately the main part involved was the steal plate housing that had worped. It was £500 so after that the other things seemed minimal. So wished we had written it off at the time it's a nightmare!!! If now the PCB is buggered I will replace definitely. Is there a boiler you recommend?
