It's a common fault on the condensing microgenus. If the burner has lit and you can still see the spark electrodes sparking, than it's the main pcb, that's provided you've checked the rectification probe/lead. However there's more to it than just changing the pcb, there are other adjustments required, but that requires a RGI.

Hi Spacethegas,
I personally have only been in contact with Tony, he's an experienced heating engineer with years and years and years of working in the industry. Whilst I'm quiet new to the repairs side of things.
Now then, not too many years!
I have only been seriously working on boilers for about nine years!
One of the older guys on here has been working for 46 years!
Some of us meet up for a curry in West or North West London from time to time, we are due another soon! Others meet at ARGI events or meet up at the shows.
Tony
thanks for saying hello.
breakdowns have always been my thing.
i did my apprenticeship mainly with a breakdown engineer with BG about 27 years ago hence ive been doing that pretty much since. did the same for my local authority & now for myself for the last 6 years.
i like it. but there is no money in it. if you want to make money install.
enjoy your curries.
id never even heard of ARGI before here.

hi everyone
glad i stumbled over this website and all your helpful info - my boiler has broken down.
I have an ariston microgenus and i am getting error code A01 after about five to tne minutes of hte boiler being on. it seems this could be the circuit board from what is written here.
i am going to contact ariston to see if i can get it repaired under warranty as it is under twelve months old i beleive - it was fitted by a cowboy unfortunately who was a friend of the person who sold the house to me. i had a plumber check it all over before i purchased and he did fix a few minor points for me.
i dont think the work will be done under warranty so i am wondering if anyone knows roughly how much this could cost - on the basis a new circuit board needs replacing? i am afraid to say that there are a lot of chancers out there who would take anyone for a ride and i have come across my fair share before so if anyone can give me any ideas that would be great as then i have something to go on!!
any comments would be great
thanks so much

Yep, new pcb required, ask Ariston for the details of their local agent who should fix it with out any dramas' if they won't do under warranty.
A nice fault on the MG II is the E34/A77 both the pcb and aps require replacing failing that new wiring loom from the pcb up to fan etc.. and on the MG II HE E34 after about 18 months dirt on the fan slowing it down, removing the restrictor should do it, as long as it doesn't effect flame picture( which i haven't found yet), Gary.

Microgenus HE comes with 2yr guantee so you'll have no problem getting it repaired.
Just have the serial number ready. Usually its on a barcode sticker on the front of the boiler if not you'll need to lower the control panel and check the data badge.

If the solicitor does this then claim all the expenses accociated with the case from him. Or push him to pay for repairs seeing as its his fault youll have to fork out. Home and dry then.
