Icos HE 18

[Deelta]

Hi, I just called to my friend's house as his boiler ICOS HE 18 is completely dead no light on the front at all, checked the supply to the boiler is OK the on/off switch is OK, could it be a PCB is faulty? any help please

You seem to ask about repairing a lot of boilers but you are apparently not gas registered!

What you describe could be the main PCB and the fan and the display PCB.

Even ignoring the non registered aspect its not a sensible repair for a DIYer.

Personally I would rip the boiler out. It's an ideal.

Very good. pcb faulty.

Thanks Tony,

you seem always making this remark, I don't repair the gas side at all, I only look at the electrical & electronic side, so a dead boiler got nothing to do with the gas and after I posted the problem today I found the problem, it was the transformer's primary open circuit and that is why it is dead.

ignore the guy, he is one to talk, look back on old post and this guy was working illegally anyways, he just comes on here with clown like remarks all the time

there are boilers out there loads by the way that you set the correct gas pressure on the pcb range rate etc. dont fiddle with what you do not understand, you take the case off the boiler change a part YOU have worked on it someone dies from what you have done incorrect gas pressures case seal etc jail u go Agile was giving good advice

You might just possibly be correct on this one occasion.

However, I think that that transformer has a thermal fuse incorporated into the winding as over temp protection.

You can usually see that it has overheated because it half melts the plastic and you can see the uneven surface on the outside of the plastic box.

The problem is that it has usually overheated as a result of an external fault. Sometimes as simple as water on the connector to the display unit or sometimes the fan.

Merely replacing the PCB if you dont know why it overheated risks blowing the new PCB.

Getting BG to do it as a fixed price repair removes most of that risk from you.
