how can i fix my potterton mini minder e switch?

the switch is moning left to right as before but i dosent work! i.e. it doesnt switch the boiler on or off.
it is on continuously. the only way to switch it off is to use the switch on the boiler itself.
please help

check out in your area for council vans putting new heating in the houses and speak to the sparky they only throw the old ones away and keep a few for spares in the vans

Pull your sliding switches out and adjust the electrodes

I don't know if you tried this but ours was doing the same not turning off whatever we did so I by chance put my hand on the instruction book and it said to reset push the + and - under the clock together for 2 seconds and it will reset we did this and it has worked, not sure if this will solve problem long term but it beats having to go out today and spend £50+ on a new control panel good luck

you nee a potterton EP2002 about £55.00 from plumb base fairly straight forward to install.

Hello Keith! the problem you discribe is very common to the Mini Minder E clock when its worn out, this model is no longer made and is not repairable, all existing stocks were bought up by the trade a long time ago, the only answer is to have the clock replaced with a different model and wired accordingly.

Sorry Mate!
