Hi all,
I recently had my boiler serviced. All fine and working as it should be. A week later, I get an F61 error (which according to Vaillant help is either a stuck/faulty valve, wiring problems or PCB issue).
I contacted the bloke who did my service and he automatically said it was a PCB issue based on experience. He quoted £250 for replacing the PCB and would not charge for diagnostics as he already knew what the issue was based on the error code. We went ahead with it as we are currently 4 weeks away from completing our house sale, and just needed it sorted.
He came today and changed it within about 10 minutes (I thought it would take much longer based on what I'd read).
Does this all seem legit to you? For some reason it's not sitting comfortably with me and I feel like we may have paid for something that was potentially a simpler/cheaper problem to fix?
Cheers
