How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Isolate power before accessing the control board.

Steps to check (engineer-level):

  • Verify that the installed PCB is the correct part number for the specific Saunier Duval boiler model.
  • Enter the installer menu and check configuration parameters (gas type, output, sensor options) against the installation manual.
  • Reprogram or reset parameters if they are incorrect.
  • If configuration cannot be changed or F16 persists, the PCB may be faulty and require replacement.

Warning: Incorrect configuration can cause unsafe combustion. Only trained personnel should alter installer settings.
