My mates dad's went down over Christmas. Luckily I had replement (from boiler that had been replaced).I knew it was only the board. The smd caps had blown . Can't fault you for putting link in description. I've looked before but would always come up with second hand .
I will stick to changing the whole fan as I very rarely find that the fan has even been removed so if the fan is old\dead then the red gasket will be the same age and also needs changing. its also peace of mind.
👍nice one mate, don’t keep these on the van as I always thought they were specific depending on boiler output, never noticed they are universal 🤦♂️ 😂keep it up fella!
Great vid. I used to do this but no warranty from Worcester so I stopped doing it. To be fair I only ever did it as was scared to take the fan out so one day just swapped pcb off a new fan. I’d say swap the fan and your bulletproof
Brilliant hack on the Worcester pcb, It’s great to be back at it again after the harder job of minding & trying to entertain the kids over the Xmas 😂 👍👍🤜
Thanks man. Common is just another term for a permanent live cable. But you'll find it used in anything to do with switching as that terminal will always be live, hence "common" and then the other terminals will be your switching ones to determine where you need to send that power to. Hope that helps 🙏🏾
Mate I hope In a few days, she don't contact you again regarding an ongoing issue with the Fan/harness. Although the voltage appears to be functioning when connected, the displayed harts is vary consistently, ranging from 2100 to 1300, even when modulating at the same speed.
Great video as always bro, God I'd be a millionaire by now if I'd have changed the fan pcb on every job instead of the full assembley and put the money to one side 🤣 Im looking forward to you posting a video on pricing, there's really little content about its such a sticky subject for many 😂 Nice to see you back into the routine getting them Breakdowns nocked off, all the best for 2024 to you and the family
Ah tell me about it man, when I discovered it I couldn't believe it! Yeah I've got a few videos it's l ideas in mind for this year 🤔 happy new year to you as well 👊🏾👊🏾
@@lestc8579 It's not boring at all. These things can sometimes be repaired at a fraction of the cost of a new pcb. However, it's not guaranteed and the most expedient, although more costly, repair will be to replace a board which is still 95% ok. Thank you for your comment though.
Ooh thanks for that. Caps are the most common fault on PCBs and thankfully they literally just cost pennies so if you're good at soldering then it's happy days😁
Good video again mate particularly enjoyed the fan pcb on the Worcester interesting not changed one before always done fan,do you have a link for your electronic tester All The Best Cheers
Be careful with grey market parts, they are not approved by the manufacturer for use in there appliances. If anything were to go wrong you are left holding the baby so to speak. I used to work for a company that fitted refurbished pcbs, that didn't end well. 👍
is the risk always worth it? as it can escalate to something more serious.. if you carry the fan ending 443, that will fit ALL outputs of the GS juniors, GS SI's and GS CDI's and all GS RI's@@cputilitysolutions
My council are a bunch of useless £#&@s Second year in a row left with no heating due to service plus s21r call eng . I wouldn't mind, but it's in the airing cupboard and no warning until it's freezing cold in the house in the middle of winter.
@cputilitysolutions Yes it's one of those things but they are legally required to service the system once a year and its now over due , I've tried hitting the buttons like I'm playing streetfighter but to no avail. Looks like it's a trade secret. I've been in a battle for 5 years trying to get stuff done. Damp with plaster falling off the walls and roof with a hole in and gutters that don't take the water away . Doors that have drafts
I disagree with the video title, and could be taken as liable?, as it is not a hack. the fan make is used on a number of manufacturers boiler, the fan is a complete unit, as is designed to be replaced as a complete unit. fitting a second hand part and/or third party part, to a boiler is not ideal or approved in some cases, as its not tested or approved to some point. how can you confirm that the signals from the fan to the pcb are what they should be? as its a two way communication, also would you cover the labour and fan cost if it were to come back in again within a few weeks or months? NOTE - the 067 and 443 fans are different, as they will ramp to a higher speed, and on some, there is a stated rating on the fan body. I would always fit the correct fan as a complete unit not part thereof on any condensing boiler. in the eyes of gas safe - you were that last engineer there.

You're doing great. Happy new year. Grateful appreciated. 🎉🎉
Thank you! Happy new year!

Great video ....thank you.
Thanks for watching 👍🏾
I've got 3 fam PCBs on my van ready to go. Stripped them out fans that people return to our depot. Quick an easy fix. Been doing it a while now
Nice one man, yeh such an easier fix!
Hope you've all had a good Christmas and New year keep up the great videos stay positive respect to you all❤
Thank you, happy new year to you too!
👍nice one mate, don’t keep these on the van as I always thought they were specific depending on boiler output, never noticed they are universal 🤦♂️ 😂keep it up fella!

Brilliant hack on the Worcester pcb,
It’s great to be back at it again after the harder job of minding & trying to entertain the kids over the Xmas 😂
👍👍🤜
Haha you know it mate. Thanks for watching as always 👊🏾
Thank you for that advice. Really appreciate that mate
Nice one 👍🏾
Great video as always. Any chance of a video explaining what common is wiring always confuses the shit out of me lol 👍

@@cputilitysolutions oh that makes sense now lol and thanks for taking the time to reply 👍

Have fitted a number of these and no callbacks 👍🏾
Best Worcester hack, strip that shit out!!!!!!

Thank you so much where is the link for the fan pcb?
No worries it's in the description
1.5 flex is good for a 3kw immersion heater and it should be connected to a 20 amp switch . That socket is not suitable for a sustained 3kw load .
Ideally yes, but there wasn't a dedicated circuit for it and it would only be used as temporary measure so not long term
Great video as usual, didn’t see the link to fan pcb though?
Thanks man, it should be in the description, if not I'll check and add it in 👍🏾
Immersion flex should not be on a plug
👍🏾
Have Electro Gas started selling those pcbs yet? Would be well handy if they do 👍🏼😉
I don't think so, but I just get them off Amazon, link in the video description 👍🏾
@@cputilitysolutions cool got it.👊🏼
There's an 82uF, 400V electrolytic on that pcb. I'd bet that it's dried out causing the failure of that pcb.
👍🏾
Boring

Testo 750-1 voltage tester mate. If you check on Testo's website they've got some promos running at the mo 👍🏾
@@cputilitysolutions brilliant cheers pal 👍
Hi got a worcester fast flaging blue tgen the reset starts flashing any ideas 💡 💙
Have you checked against the fault finding section in the MIs?
All sorted fan pcb fried changed out new fan complete 👍🏻 😊

It dry joint on pcb on fan use air dryer it work thank me later
👍🏾 I've tried that a few times and it's worked but have ended up changing the fan after anyway as it would still happen after a short time
My council are a bunch of useless £#&@s
Second year in a row left with no heating due to service plus s21r call eng .
I wouldn't mind, but it's in the airing cupboard and no warning until it's freezing cold in the house in the middle of winter.
Sorry to hear

I've been guilty of doing this.. mostly through lockdown and tbh ..you do what you have to sometimes
