HI CAN ANYONE GIVE ME SOME ADVICE.
WHILST RUNNING A BATH TONIGHT MY BOILER SUDDENLY MADE A POP/BANG NOISE AND THE HOTWATER BECAME COLD AND ALL POWER TO THE BOILER HAD GONE AND THERE WAS A FUNNY BURNING SMELL (POSSIBLY ELECTRICAL.) ANY ADVICE ON WHAT THIS COULD BE WOULD ME MUCH APPRECIATED THANKS.

it sounds like the main pcb has the well know neautral fault, i looked at an identical one yesterday, the board cost around £86, plus fitting , but as its a know fault and potterton discontinued the boiler it will happen again,

Hi common fault is the live to the pcb (top left) or the pcb burns out, you need a new pcb, this will solve the problem
