Fault codes related to this part (not the entire boiler). They usually have more possible causes: first rule out electrodes, wiring/connections, and gas supply. Verified with ≥3 sources.

CodeWhat does it mean?Cause and diagnosis (this part)
F.318The 3-way motorised valve is not moving.The 3-way valve is seized or its motor/head is not functioning, so it does not switch between heating and DHW. Verify order and path: check voltage/continuity at the connector and observe the movement of the spindle during the service test.
F.326The hydraulic test of the sensor and the actuator has determined that at least two hydraulic components are not functioning.If the V3V is blocked or defective, the hydraulic test detects the lack of response. Check with the actuator test: inspect the movement of the V3V and the condition of the connector/wiring harness.
F.081The boost has failed.The DHW/storage tank charging does not occur when the 3-way valve does not switch to the sanitary position (valve defective or stuck). Verify by making a DHW demand and checking that the 3-way valve receives the command and changes position; also check the wiring harness.
