mdw 201 Report post Posted October 18 Yes sorry they are tiny. Those 2 little f%^&ers are going to cost me £500 if I cant find some and replace them. Its a baxi fan control board only 3 years old but out of guarantee. The gas fitter has had them go on 3 of this model boiler. Its half the cost of the boiler. Not happy. If I can find the surface mount ones is there a problem fitting the through board ones? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
esprit22 67 Report post Posted October 18 Definitely resistors, check out Farnell or RS Components. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nope - just make sure you fit bigger W rating ones 1 Quote Only here once Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RichardC 81 Report post Posted October 18 Google image search for MELF resistor. (Type carefully!) What colour are the stripes? Red Brown Black Black Brown? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mdw 201 Report post Posted October 18 It looks like red, brown, black, black, grey or silver, brown. I will photograph it in sunlight tomorrow and hopefully get a better picture. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RichardC 81 Report post Posted October 18 Red Brown Black Black would be 210 Ohms, which is not a common value. The last two bands are the tolerances. If you can't get the exact part then a nearby value may work, but change both of them together, not just the burnt out one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clive59 88 Report post Posted October 19 I would go for a 6 band code, and reading from left is Brown Grey Black Black = 180ohm, brown = 1%, red = 50ppm but, resistor might only be the symptom, and simply replacing might not fix problem. this might be a suitable replacement: https://uk.farnell.com/te-connectivity/sma-a0207ftdt180r/melf-res-auto-metal-film-180r/dp/2838199 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mdw 201 Report post Posted October 19 Many thanks have ordered 5 . Its worth a gamble, the worse that can happen is its US just like it is now. Ive got more pics it does look like grey band to me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
s4simon 150 1 Vehicles Report post Posted October 21 (edited) Or if need be, just desolder the other resistor and check with a meter to confirm resistance. If it blows again, next logical step is to replace the surface mount transistor next to it. The resisitor may have acted like a fuse and gone into meltdown due to a failure of another component. Transistors on the other hand dont go into meltdown, they just stop working, possibly/probably going into shorting state where they just pass voltage/current through 24/7, which is a bad thing... if you are the next resistor in line. Electronics are fun. Edited October 21 by s4simon Quote Simon (94 S4) My Esprit will be for sale in late 2017 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mdw 201 Report post Posted October 24 Cheers for all your help. Replaced them and still no go so new combustion control unit fitted. Not quite as bad as first feared but £381 on a 3.5 year old boiler is not on. Thanks once again. Turns out its now got an upgraded version so they obviously use customers to road test the boiler.
