Relatively inexpensive. Expect a modest fee for the part plus labor.
A technician will use a multimeter to check the resistance of the NTC sensors. f64 vaillant
If the PCB or gas valve needs replacement on an older ecoTEC (over 10–12 years), compare costs against a new boiler. PCB + electrode + labour can be £400–600. Gas valve replacement is similar. For a boiler >15 years, replacement may be more economical. Relatively inexpensive
Before calling a professional, try a hard reset. Press and hold the (often marked with a flame symbol or a crossed-out flame) for five seconds. If the error was caused by a temporary electrical surge, the boiler may restart. If F64 reappears immediately, do not keep resetting it. 2. Check for Leaks If the PCB or gas valve needs replacement
The F64 error code on a Vaillant boiler indicates a problem with the boiler's temperature sensor or the thermistor. This error is often associated with issues related to the NTC (Negative Temperature Coefficient) sensors, which monitor the temperature of the water in the boiler.
When the boiler throws an F64 code, it means the electronics are receiving an implausible signal regarding the gas and air mixture, or there is an internal fault within the electronic control system itself. Essentially, the boiler’s "brain" is confused about how much gas or air is entering the system, and for safety reasons, it shuts down.
