icos he15 dead?

[panny300]

got a call from mother,her boiler would'nt fire up,but when i got there the problem was that there was no lights or display showing on the front panel.
so checked fuses all ok,dropped the main pcb,there was power going through the on off switch,which came from and returned to the pcb,found a fuse at the back of the pcb panel this was also ok.with a voltage on both sides.
so is the main pcb goosed?,is there anything else that could have caused it to fail?any other checks i can try?
i priced a new one and it was £140 quid,so i don't want to replace it and find it blows again or it's not the problem. thanks

probably the display dead cos of a leak. Check the connections on the back of the display and you might see water marks.

These Isar modules spontaneously 'goose' themselves for no good reason.

Ideal is rumoured to have faced severe financial difficulty as a result of warranty claims, but thankfully they'll make a mint from selling modules to owners of out-of-warranty boilers.

most likely the pcb, change loads! i always thought they wa around £180 tho.. if ya not sure ya could always get a fixed price repair from ideal or bg (bg do um for £168 outside of london) that way if something is taking the pcb out it will be covered under warranty

I would want to check the fan before replacing the pcb. These are very common at blowing the pcb.

Can't remember the ohms or colour wires to check off hand. Call Ideal tech, ask for Dave Kemp and you will be sorted

thanks for the speedy replys,there are no water leaks or marks,i will try to find out about the fan,

panny are you anywhere near hampshire? if you are PM me i would be interested in the dead pcb details as i am taking Ideal to task on the failure of these blasted units and the need to replace pcb & control panels at £150 approx cost a time.
i would be glad to collect the dead unit from you if local.

sorry kev,i live in wigan nr manchester.
i have found a manual on the he15.dos'nt tell the what the reading should be for the fan resistance?.
but says should get a fault number on the display for a pcb fault,dos'nt mention what to look for if the display is blank,
there are some cheaper on ebay,anyone used em.

I'd have to agree. They must make millions in spare part sales though.

Cheap boilers, expensive spares... and lots of them!
