Potterton Boiler Fault & Error Codes

Boilers are like cars, a problem could occur when you least expect it for no apparent reason. Potterton boilers are no different.

Part of the Baxi family, these boilers are few and far between these days but they are still powering homes in the UK

POTTERTON BOILERS

The fault codes you will see on a Potterton boiler are a letter and a number, they are designed to show up on your boiler display so you can go check on the Potterton website or the table below and see if it is a problem you can solve.

If the fault code shows an error which you cannot solve, contact a Gas Safe registered engineer as soon as possible.
