A boiler circuit board also monitors pressure, temperature, and currents, to ensure that the boiler is: Most Vaillant ecoTEC plus and pro boilers can experience a problem with F.62 failure. As Vaillant specialists who carry out ecoTEC boiler repairs and services on a daily basis, we find that the majority of F.62 fault error codes occur on the earlier Vaillant ecoTEC pro and plus R1 boilers. These first ecoTECs were produced from 2005 to 2012. This F.62 issue on these older R1 models (normally at least 10 years old), is much more prevalent than on the later updated ecoTECs (or “ecoTEC 2”), which have been produced since 2012. PCB stands for “Printed Circuit Board”. It’s a laminated board with electrical conductors, which is essentially a control centre that facilitates communication between various electronic components of a device. PCBs are used in a vast array of electronic devices, including boilers. What is a PCB on a boiler?

Now, let’s have a look at some common symptoms pointing to a PCB problem. #1 – Intermittent Display Panel OperationNot what you're looking for? Try our unique Spares Finder tool or you can view all Vaillant Boiler Spares products. Before we conclude, we’d like to answer a few questions that we often hear about PCB fault finding on boilers. How long does it take to replace a boiler’s PCB?

Some customers we visit can still painfully recount, costly and frustrating previous experiences they’ve had, after choosing the wrong company for their boiler repair!

Other Common Boiler Faults We hope this guide to boiler PCB faults will help you fix the problem and get your boiler humming along in no time. When a F.62 fault code is triggered, as well as stopping the boiler from operating any further, the error code message also informs that a specific fault or problem has occurred in the boiler.

When you replace Vaillant PCB you will have to adjust DSN (Device Specific Number) parameter for the boiler. Reason for that adjustment is the fact that entire original range of EcoTec boilers share one PCB. By adjusting DSN you pair your new PCB with your boiler. The same PCB will do all combination and system boilers from original Eco Tec range. There are certain symptoms that may point to a faulty PCB. Note that these cannot give you a diagnosis that’s 100% correct, so it’s always wise to hire a boiler engineer to inspect your appliance if you suspect a PCB error. Can a PCB be repaired?There is written information from Vaillant covering the F.62 fault code, but NOT how to fix it, for obvious reasons! In Vaillant’s ecoTEC installation and servicing instructions, the boilers Gas Valve is referred to first as a possible cause of the F.62 fault. Once the Gas Safe engineer gets to work, it should take them anywhere between 1-3 hours to replace a PCB. The duration of the procedure hinges on the complexity of the issue. For instance, if the PCB and the surrounding wiring have sustained water damage, it may take longer to replace the faulty component.

This price drops if you’re considering a refurbished or reconditioned unit, but again, it’s rarely worth the small cash saving to have a second-hand unit (that has no warranty).

We mayThere is also the benefit that a specialist would probably use a “one-off labour price” type charge. However, in most cases, it makes more sense to get the PCB (or even the boiler itself) replaced. What’s Next? However, in our experience as Vaillant’s agent, we find it’s usually the PCB (9 times out of 10) that needs changing. We sell original heating parts. Our engineers fully refurbish parts to the highest standard and test them. So, buy with confidence. Fits Appliance(s)
