Guide

How to check if ref. 61010000 is the part for your boiler

The part reference, model, and equipment revision must be verified against the manufacturer's documentation.

  1. Find the reference printed on the installed part and check whether it matches the catalogue reference 61010000. If it is not visible, do not identify the part from its shape alone.
  2. Check the full boiler model on its data plate and look for it in the model associations on this page.
  3. Compare the connections and physical body with the original part before installation.
  4. If anything is unclear, send us a photo of the marking via WhatsApp before placing your order.
Diagnosis and fault codes

Symptoms that require diagnosis in the 3-way valve 61010000

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 hesitates when the hot water tap is opened: it takes a while to provide hot water or it doesn't switch at all.

    Cause: The motor of the valve does not complete the turn to the domestic hot water position, usually because the internal gear is worn out or seized.

    Listen to see if the actuator hums without moving when you open a tap: if it makes noise and doesn't turn, the problem is mechanical and confirms the need for replacement.

  • 02

    There is a water leak right at the body of the valve, not at the pipe connections.

    Cause: The internal seals of the body lose their tightness with years of use and the pressure of the installation.

    Tighten the nuts on the connections before assuming it's the valve: a leak in the thread can easily be mistaken for a leak from the body.

  • 03

    The actuator moves but makes a strange noise, like a clicking or metallic rubbing sound.

    Cause: The motor gear is worn and does not mesh cleanly with the valve shaft.

    Remove the actuator cover with the boiler unplugged and check for any plastic debris from the gear: if there is any, it's not worth repairing, it needs to be replaced.

  • 04

    Sometimes it heats well, and other times it stays halfway between heating and domestic hot water, with no clear pattern.

    Cause: The actuator loses synchronization with the microswitches that inform the PCB of its position.

    Check the display or the LEDs on the PCB to see if it shows a three-way valve error before disassembling anything: many models indicate this.

Chaffoteaux fault codes that require diagnosis

CodeFaultTechnical checks
40-50-60-80Three-way valve (distribution) stuck in heating position.The 3-way valve gets stuck or its motor does not switch, causing the boiler to detect an inconsistency as it cannot divert to DHW and indicates a lockout. Verify by forcing the test/diagnosis of '3-way valve position', observing that it does not change from heating to DHW, feeling the lines (radiator supply hot with DHW demand) or powering the actuator to check the stroke.

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.
