Does the new replacement PCB need setting up at all? I’ve read it could result in a F70 code which means it needs associating with the particular boiler model it’s installed into?
Great video :) we have the same problem on our ecoTec pro 28, had f61 in the past but now seems to settle on f62, we can clear the code an resume normal operation but we also see temp fluctuations on the display (actual water temp is fine). Everything points to PCB as you video suggests, but as we don’t know the age of the boiler we are debating just getting a whole new unit (maybe different brand). Would your advice be to invest in a new boiler or just replace PCB? If PCB what’s would be a fair price for parts and instillation? Thanks for your video an time :)
We have replaced many pcbs on your type boiler and it should run for many years. We would charge 150 labour plus 187.00 for pcb plus vat. The pcb covered for 12 months. What area are you in?
He said it was the gas valve cos that what it says in the book .. lol... see so many lads do it, can't always trust the book.... experienced lads know that there are other reasons many times that throw out the same fault... its all about learning and experience.
@@ARBoilers Got exactly the same problem (F61, with temperature jumping around when you reset) thanks for your clear video. Been told it's either the PCB OR a faulty gas valve, and that these boilers (we have the Vaillant ecoTEC plus 837 now 12 years old) have built in obsolescence, so we might as well replace the whole boiler. Not sure if this isn't upselling, but out of interest, once the pcb is replaced is the boiler good to go for a couple more years as long as regularly serviced?
Mate i have same issue f.61 code but, its intermittent, i powered off and reignited boiler and it works fine but i may get this code again after couple of weeks so what is the issue?

Brilliantly done.
I'm nearing the end of my ACS and this video is very hjelpful.

99% of the time you don't need to set anything up. Also could you subscribe to our channel
Boiler radiators won't go hot I've tried everything it's a valient eco
How long does the boiler fire for up for in heating mode ?
For good part did not see the mains cable stuck underneath the mother board.

Hi I have a reading of 62 ohms? Does this mean the gas valve needs replacing? Or is it still a PCB issue?

Do we not have to put any code into after replacment??
careful when two wires the same colour - label with a bit of tape before you take a photo

I just kept my finger on the reset button for few seconds and code went away and works fine now.???
Ok that's great 👍
@@ARBoilers it's done it before could it be a faulty sensor?
@@infiniteloopslawson5301 it's normally a gas valve or PCB fault

@@okafka5446 100% yeah
So you make sure the knobs hot water and heating are on full a on the pcb ?
Yeah 👍 Also can you subscribe to our channel 🙏
Gr8
What about the pressure?
How to measure inlet working pressure at appliance in this boiler? Is it by taking the side panel out???
No you need a small ratchet tool to get in gas valve inlet test point and you will need to remove the air pipe

Mate i have same issue f.61 code but, its intermittent, i powered off and reignited boiler and it works fine but i may get this code again after couple of weeks so what is the issue?
It's normally the pcb or it could the gas value. Also could you subscribe to our channel 😊
Bur what if it continually works fine for months on end as it has so far by just pressing reset button?
@@sukisingh7268 just run with it and see how it goes
@@ARBoilers its getting worse esp. Night time it cuts out we keep resetting
@@sukisingh7268 Get an engineer out to it !! Stop fishing for free advice so you can try and fix it yourself ... pay for somebody who knows what they're doing ..
F61, constant cutting out
Possible gas valve or PCB
