Hi All,

Problem with a GW 18HXi reporting error F13 (PCB Fault). I've replaced all the electrolytic capacitors on the PCB, many bulging with high ESR. After reassembly the fault remains. Swapped board with a known good one and the fault remains.

Any ideas?
 
This is when as the old saying goes a little knowledge is dangerous, best to get a qualified gas engineer in
 
Thanks guys. Messages received and understood.
A few questions:
The boiler is 10+ years old & i'm in Southampton.
Are all spare parts still available?
In what circumstance would repair not be viable?
For a service, diagnostics and possibly spare parts, what ball park, total price should i be looking at?
Many thanks
 
10 years old boiler id be recommending a upgrade no point spending £500 on the old girl unless your strapped i would put it towards a new one . Kop
