How to check if ref. 05740400 is the part for your boiler
The part reference, model, and equipment revision must be verified against the manufacturer's documentation.
- Find the reference printed on the installed part and check whether it matches the catalogue reference 05740400. 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 that require diagnosis in the 3-way valve 05740400
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 hot water takes time to arrive or comes out lukewarm while the heating works fine.
Cause: The valve does not switch correctly between the circuits and distributes the water poorly.
Check if the actuator or head of the gas valve reaches the limit in both positions before considering it faulty.
- 02
Water leak from the body of the gas valve, not coming from a pipe or threaded connection.
Cause: The internal seals wear out with use and allow water to pass between the channels or to the outside.
Locate whether the moisture comes from the shaft or from a specific joint before deciding to replace the entire part.
- 03
A noise or a slight jerk can be heard when the boiler switches from heating to domestic hot water.
Cause: The internal mechanism gets stuck due to scale or dirt, making it difficult to move to the new position.
Check the water hardness in the area and if there is visible limescale on other parts of the hydraulic circuit.
Fault codes Saunier Duval that require diagnosis
| Code | Fault | Technical checks |
|---|---|---|
| F.318 | The 3-way motorised valve is not moving. | The 3-way valve (actuator or gears) is blocked or without power, so it does not switch between DHW/heating; check by activating the service test and checking voltage/continuity at the motor connector. |
| F.326 | The hydraulic test of the sensor and the actuator has determined that at least two hydraulic components are not functioning. | If the 3-way valve is blocked or disconnected, the hydraulic test detects multiple faults; check the valve movement from the test menu and inspect the connector/wiring harness or replace the assembly if it does not operate. |
| F.081 | The boost has failed. | The brand documents the 3-way valve as a possible cause when it is defective or blocked; confirm by actuating it in service test and, if it does not switch or consumes without turning, replace the valve/motor and check the wiring. |
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.
