Potterton EP2002 Central Heating Programmer - Intermittent fault

Aug 21, 2006 0 Replies

Hi all



I have a Potterton EP2002 Programmer, for controlling my central heating system, which has suddenly started to behave erratically. By that, I mean that it sometimes works continuously for perhaps tweleve hours and then stop working and the LCD goes blank. Other times, it runs for a few minutes and then stops before running again for another few minutes.



I'm buy no means an expert, but could anyone please reassure me that if



I ordered a replacement programmer and attached it to the existing back



plate, it would resolve the problem ?



I'm just guessing that it might be a capacitor or something within the programmer that has failed.



There have been a lot of thunderstorms in my area lately and I just wondered if that might be a contributory factor.



Could it be something else such as the rechargable battery that needs replacing or even the backplate itself that is not providing a good connection ?



I'd be very greatful if someone could please give me some advice on this one.



Best regards David
