What model Isar is it? HE or M series? Make a good check of boiler for water leaks too. AAV on M series can drip down onto connecting cable from PCB to user control and short board.

Fans are notorious for taking out pcb's on these.

You will need to check the fan before switching on with the new pcb fitted.

Follow MI's to do this.

Went to have a look today, Isar24HE 3 years old this month. 240v either side of rocker switch, 240v going to main PCB but no display and nothing working, Spoke to tech they said its main board, I've checked resistance across fan 110 ohms they said thats ok so just replace board. phoned curzons been quoted £130 plus vat

so back tomorrow and hope it does the job the customer is 76years old and p****d off.

You probably got the alloy "elbows" round the wrong way they are handed
