Vaillant Ecotec Plus VMW 306/5-5 Display PCB
The Vaillant Ecotec Plus VMW 306/5-5 display board is a control PCB that manages the ignition, burner modulation, pump, and safety features of the boiler. When it fails, the boiler may not start, lock out, or behave erratically, which can generate fault codes such as F.53, F.54, F.56, F.61, or F.63. This part is compatible with models VMW 236/5-5, 246/5-5, 306/5-5, and 346/5-5, among others. A technician must confirm through diagnosis whether it is necessary to replace it when these symptoms or operational errors are detected.

How to check if it 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 —. If it is not visible, do not identify the part by 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 on the PCB
The PCB controls the ignition, modulation, and safety features of the boiler. These are the typical symptoms and what to do:
Common symptoms and faults
- 01
The display does not turn on or show anything.
Cause: The display module is not receiving power or is not showing an image, although the boiler may continue to operate.
Check if the boiler is still heating with the saved programming; if it is, the fault is only with the panel.
- 02
The buttons on the panel do not respond when pressed.
Cause: The push buttons are part of this PCB, so their failure is usually related to a fault in the display module.
Test several buttons separately and check for visible moisture or oxidation on the frame before replacing the entire PCB.
- 03
It is not possible to enter the menu or change any settings of the boiler.
Cause: Access to the menu is managed from this PCB, so a fault here prevents programming even though the boiler continues to heat.
Check that the boiler maintains the set temperature; if it does, the problem is with the control panel and not with the heating system.
- 04
The screen appears to be on but frozen, not updating the information.
Cause: The display module has frozen, which is different from being completely off.
Disconnect the boiler from the power supply for a few seconds and then restore power before changing the PCB; a temporary hang-up is usually resolved this way.
Vaillant fault codes that require diagnosis
| Code | Fault | Technical checks |
|---|---|---|
| F.53 | Error in combustion regulation. | This code requires technical diagnosis according to the model manual and its review. It does not confirm on its own that this part is faulty nor justifies its replacement. The causes and the exact reference must be verified before intervening. |
| F.54 | Gas supply fault. | There is a fault in the gas supply. This can cause the boiler to not operate correctly, as it does not receive the necessary fuel to function. If this fault code appears, check the PCB, as it could be the cause of the problem. |
| F.56 | Fault in the combustion components. | A fault has been detected in the combustion components. This may affect the efficiency and safety of the boiler's operation. If you see this code, it is likely that the PCB is involved in the fault. |
| F.61 | Error in the gas valve control. | There is a fault in the control of the gas valve. This may prevent the boiler from receiving the necessary gas for its operation. If this fault code appears, check the PCB, as it could be the cause of the problem. |
| F.63 | Error in the EEPROM memory. | This code requires technical diagnosis according to the model manual and its review. It does not confirm on its own that this part is faulty nor justifies its replacement. The causes and the exact reference must be verified before intervening. |
| F.67 | Electronic fault related to the flame. | There is an electronic fault related to the flame. This may affect the safety and operation of the boiler. If you see this fault code, the PCB may be failing. |
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.
