What causes the Potterton U60 fault?
This is not a mechanical failure but rather a status notification triggered when the user-adjustable hot water control knob is turned. It appears to confirm the specific target temperature you have set for your taps and showers, ensuring the boiler heat exchanger knows exactly how much to heat the water.
This code is often seen during the transition between seasons when homeowners adjust the dial higher for winter comfort or lower for energy saving in summer.
