Great Barr: a Vaillant ecoTEC 937 that kept needing a reset, with F.62 and F.75 in its fault history, a new PCB and pressure sensor, and a full strip-down service on one visit

The customer's Vaillant ecoTEC 937 kept having to be reset, and its last ten faults were all F.62 and F.75. We replaced the PCB from our van stock and a blocked pressure sensor, recharged the expansion vessel, and gave the boiler a full strip-down service with a new burner seal, all on one visit.

In short

On Wednesday 4 November we attended a Vaillant ecoTEC 937 in Great Barr for a service and repair. The customer told us the boiler was having to be reset regularly. In the fault history, the last ten faults were all F.62 and F.75, and when we first tested the boiler it went to F.62. We diagnosed a faulty PCB, which we carry on the van, and replaced it. For the F.75, we found the pump working perfectly; we took out the pressure sensor, found it blocked and replaced it, and recharged the expansion vessel. We then carried out a full strip-down service with a new burner seal, walked the system and bled the radiators. The customer was extremely impressed, and has asked us to book in services and landlord checks on their other properties.

The problem

The customer told us their Vaillant ecoTEC 937 was having to be reset regularly. We attended on Wednesday 4 November for a service and repair.

The fault history

We checked the boiler's fault history: the last ten faults were all F.62 and F.75. When we first tested the boiler, it went to F.62, which you can see in the second photo.

A new PCB

We diagnosed a faulty PCB, the boiler's main control board. We carry that part on the van, so we replaced it on the same visit.

The F.75

F.75 means the boiler has failed to detect a sudden pressure increase when its internal heating pump starts up. We found the pump working perfectly. We took out the pressure sensor and found it blocked, so we replaced it, and we recharged the expansion vessel.

The full strip-down

We then carried out a full strip-down service, replacing the burner seal, and finished by walking the system and bleeding the radiators. Our Vaillant boiler repair page covers other Vaillant faults.

A very happy customer

The customer was extremely impressed, and has asked us to book in services and landlord gas safety checks on their other properties.

What it costs

In office hours (Mon–Fri 8am–5.30pm) a boiler repair is £99, covering attendance, diagnosis and the first hour, with parts quoted and agreed before we fit them. A full strip-down service is £185. Details are on our price list.

Common questions

What does F.75 mean on a Vaillant?

F.75 means the boiler has failed to detect a sudden pressure increase when its internal heating pump starts up. A failed pump can cause it, but on this boiler the pump was working perfectly; the pressure sensor was blocked, so we replaced it.

Why check the fault history?

A boiler that is being reset keeps a record of the faults it has had. Here the last ten were all F.62 and F.75, which told us both faults were coming back, not a one-off.

Should I keep resetting my boiler?

No. A reset clears the display, not the fault. If you are resetting it regularly, call an engineer with the fault code and the boiler model.

How much does a repair and a strip-down service cost?

In office hours (Mon–Fri 8am–5.30pm) a boiler repair is £99, covering attendance, diagnosis and the first hour, with parts quoted and agreed before we fit them. A full strip-down service is £185, which includes gaskets and an inhibitor top-up.
