Potterton boiler error E168

[@lukerees9601]

In case you're having trouble, the engineer replaced several parts on a trial-and-error basis (filters & heat exchanger at heavy cost). The problem turned out to be the circuit board, which was showing error messages even though nothing was wrong. That needed replacing, approx £150. Boiler was fine all along!

THANK YOU SO MUCH, I have just fixed my boiler following your instructions. Again - THANK YOU

[@vivavoice7211]

Thank you - sorted my boiler out just with the reset suggestion. Excellent!!

[@Tapemanuk]

You legend! I had a powercut and had this error. Running the hot tap fixed it. Cheers.

[@nicktalkstherapy]

Thanks for the video man flushing the hot tap worked!! Works on a BAXI

[@rybatur]

You are a true legend . It worked for me

[@andrewpoynter7887]

I love you... that is wonderful.. worked a treat

[@syedsulemanquadri9843]

Thank you very much it helped me fix it

[@RACING5312001]

Is it straightforward to replace the circuit board. I keep getting E168. Hot water is fine. Radiators work for about 10 mins then i get error message and have to reset boiler and normally works again.

[@graemekay4395]

Same I get with my heating, last about 10-30 minutes, then cuts out, but still makes the sound as if it is on! Is this eating up my money even though it isn't actually doing F all apart from flashing up E168?

[@Sum_Ting_Wong]

I did a 10 second RESET and mine worked again. Initially my pressure was low and I refilled it but the E168 message kept coming on. Then I ran the hot water tap on and hit the RESET button and held it for 10 seconds. The yellow pilot light came on and it's been fine since.

[@lacuzy31]

Thank you I followed your method. And mine is working now

[@shay1525]

Amazing scenes thank you! 🥰

[@jamesgallacher3388]

Thanks, this worked for me 👍

[@yokofurswada]

Hi I have the same issue with the same boiler, Question ... are you saying that a new control board resolved the problem?

[@rasfordlukuta2430]

Thank you it worked same time

[@AdnaneLondon]

Thank for sharing ..nice video

[@prospeedmotors]

main heat exchanger is leaking and by running the hot water you are increasing the pressure and that allows the boiler to fire up. remove the burner and you will see

[@snigie]

prospeed motors na mate. E168 is an internal error. 9/10 pcb can be a faulty divertor valve motor. Never had it myself always pcb

[@jongracehometv8388]

You are suppose to turn the boiler off then turn to reset and hold for about 20 seconds. .

[@King-ey5ny]

I tried this and it worked.

[@TheAshantidutch]

This was a good tip thanks my tenant called and I was able to talk him through the erro, that said is this a long term solution ? thanks again

[@graemekay4395]

I use the same method to get my boiler working again. Same Error Code E168. Sometimes I can't get any hot water for the whole day!I keep my hair short so that's a bit easier to handle, but poor girls with long hair and the same E168 code. :(

[@ncszy]

Legend. Thanks

[@bienio11]

What does the e125 problem mean???

[@techboss7435]

That’s not long term solution if you are in Uk Get ready to pay £190 for the electronic peace plus labouring maybe all together £250

[@mukundmistry1181]

Hey thanks for your video, I have to exactly the same action to get the hot water on. Very annoying. You say a new PCB board fix your issue? Did you replace the board yourself or have a engineer come do it? Thank :)

[@Manoharlal10101]

My boiler main eco 30 pilot light not coming .I tried to reset lots of time.but still not coming on.actually before fuse was gone in the fuse box.i changed the fuse but pilot light not coming on.E 133 code is coming,which means something to do with gas supply.three days ago fuse went I called somebody he changed the fuse and turned pilot light on .same thing happened again I changed the fuse but pilot light not coming back on.

[@patelutsav4399]

P error mean

[@robertjh123]

I think this just fixed my hot water!

[@lukerees9601]

I'm going for 2 million hits by next week. Come on people :-)

[@graemekay4395]

Boilers are ALWAYS having faults, why is this? I know they are very complicated pieces of machinery/electronics with thermodynamics etc, but someone MUST be able to make a boiler that doesn't break down often. Maybe a company could focus on new age boiler system from scratch since all other technologies are growing so fast :) (No diss to any boiler workers out there)

[@aY-fl3bu]

Luke! NOT WORKING(((( What to do?

[@hamnanasir1688]

And today i m also dealing with this problem ,this reset method is not working for me , but still i m hoping this method to work for me😊

[@martinwilliams9857]

Clearly not a qualified engineer... A, you aren't resetting the thing... you're just turning the power on and off again. To reset this boiler, you have to turn and hold the selector switch to the 'reset' position which you can clearly see... B, there is no pilot light on this boiler... it is automatic ignition that lights itself when you introduce a demand, ie, heating or hot water.

[@lukerees9601]

I didn't do the replacement, from memory it cost £2-300 for the part and installation by masterfix (who are expensive).

[@graemekay4395]

OUCH!

[@ArslanKhan-nt8en]

How to fix error E01

[@jesicas8918]

The next number will be added to E1 ,.... My message is E1 .... 68 ...... means Error E168

[@iftakharmohammed8293]

What fricking waste of time, what’s the solution??? To e168

[@19631241]

E168, POWER SUPPLIE MUST BE 240V CHECK THE NUETRAL FOR POLARITY, CHECK FOR WATER IN DIVERTER, THEN FAN STAT, NTC SENSOR FOR 12K OMS, NORMALLY ENDS UP BEING THE SIEMANS PCB.

[@aY-fl3bu]

same shit babe)))) going on kitchen to fix it((((
