What it is
The Potterton 407693 is an ignitor used in Potterton gas boilers. It forms part of the ignition circuit, producing the spark that lights the gas at the burner when there is a call for heat or hot water. Ignitors sit in a hot, dry environment and are a common service item when a boiler stops lighting reliably.
Signs this part needs replacing
- The boiler goes to lockout shortly after a call for heat, with no flame established.
- No spark is visible or audible at the burner during the ignition sequence.
- The boiler clicks repeatedly through ignition attempts without lighting.
- Ignition is intermittent — the boiler lights on some attempts and not others.
- The ignition sequence completes but the burner fails to prove flame, causing repeated reset cycles.
Before you order
- This part is fitted to a gas appliance; installation must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
- Confirm the boiler model and GC number match the compatibility information for this ignitor.
- Check the part number on the existing component against 407693 before ordering.
- Inspect the ignition lead and electrode condition at the same time, as these are disturbed during replacement.
