Chaffoteaux 3-Way Valve Motor MC FF Ref. 60081953
In Chaffoteaux boilers, the Chaffoteaux 3-Way Valve Motor MC FF Ref. 60081953, manufactured by Saia-Burgess, is essential for regulating the flow of water between the heating circuit and the domestic hot water circuit. When this part fails, you may have hot water but no heating, or vice versa, and there may even be a mixing of both circuits. It is installed in models such as Calydra, MC, and Siam, among others. It is advisable to replace it if you experience fault code 29: 3-way valve stuck in heating position.

How to check if the part number 60081953 is the one for your boiler.
What determines it is not the boiler model, but the reference printed on the part you already have installed.
- Find the reference printed on the installed part and check whether it matches the catalogue reference 60081953. If it is not visible, do not identify the part from its shape alone.
- Check the full boiler model on its data plate and look for it in the model associations on this page.
- Compare the connections and physical body with the original part before installation.
- If anything is unclear, send us a photo of the marking via WhatsApp before placing your order.
Symptoms and faults that the 3-way valve 60081953 resolves.
The 3-way valve diverts water between heating and domestic hot water. These are the typical symptoms and what to do:
Common symptoms and faults
- 01
The boiler does not switch properly between heating and domestic hot water: it seems to get 'stuck' in one function.
Cause: The motor of the 3-way valve does not move the diverter from one end to the other of the travel.
Measure with a multimeter if the motor receives current at its terminals when the boiler requests the circuit change, before replacing it.
- 02
The valve motor does not rotate or makes noise when activated, even though the boiler sends the command.
Cause: It could be the motor itself (burnt winding) or the shaft may be blocked by scale buildup in the body of the gas valve.
Disconnect the valve motor and check if it spins freely without load; if it spins loosely without the body, the fault is likely due to scale, not the motor.
- 03
The display shows a warning or lock related to the 3-way valve.
Cause: The control board does not receive the end-of-travel signal from the motor and cuts off operation for safety reasons.
Check that the motor's electrical connector is properly fitted and free of corrosion before replacing the part.
- 04
The domestic hot water takes a long time to come out hot or cools down intermittently while the heating continues to operate.
Cause: The diverter does not completely close the flow to heating, so part of the water is distributed between the two circuits.
With the boiler in DHW, touch the supply pipes to the radiators: if they are warm, the diverter is not closing that side properly.
Fault codes Chaffoteaux that this part resolves
| Code | Fault | Diagnosis and solution |
|---|---|---|
| 29 | Three-way valve stuck in heating position | The motor/head of the valve (ref. 60081953) does not switch, and the boiler detects that it remains in heating mode when DHW is demanded; check the power supply to the motor (24 V) and ensure it moves the stem. If there is 24 V and it does not operate, the motor is faulty; if it operates but does not change, the valve is seized. |
These symptoms can have more than one cause. If your boiler displays a fault code, send it to us via WhatsApp along with a photo of the labeling, and we'll tell you if this is the part.
