Hi,
A friend of mine suggested using this forum as he had a problem, which after numerous responses on here, was sorted within hours !!
I have a problem with my boiler. Unfortunately it seems to be an intermittent fault which I'm having trouble trying to rectify.
A few weeks ago the boiler failed to start up showing a fault code of F61 - (gas valve or PCB fault), I reset the boiler and all seemed fine again for about a week when we had the same problem again. This fault become far more frequent showing F61 and now F62 so I decided to replace the PCB myself as another friend of mine advised that this wasn't too hard a job !
After installing the new PCB for some reason the heating wont start at all now...its like the thermostat isn't asking for the heat - the hot water works fine and the wireless thermostat sends the signal to the boiler but unfortunately the boiler doesn't show the radiator icon and no heating cycle starts !! I have turned the thermostat up high but still no luck !
So I have a few questions should anyone be able to help me please :
Firstly, would there be a fault with the original PCB, as when the boiler has been reset everything works fine ?
Secondly, after installing the new PCB do I have to make any alterations to the boiler for it to work ?
If anyone can offer any solutions, help or advice I'd be most appreciative !!????
I'm happy to call a engineer out but just wanted to get some understanding and background advice first !!
Many Thanks in advance
Scott
