Saunier Duval PCB SD 235 ME
In Saunier Duval boilers, the SD 235 ME PCB is the component that controls the ignition, the modulation of the burner, the pump, and the system's safety features. When it malfunctions, the boiler may fail to start, become locked, or operate erratically. Users may notice issues such as the fault code F.42, which indicates a failure in the heating element, or F.70, which signals an invalid product code. This board is compatible with the Saunier Duval SD 235 ME range, among others. A technician must confirm through diagnosis whether it is necessary to replace it when these symptoms or fault codes are detected.

How to check if ref. 05710700 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 05710700. 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 on the PCB 05710700
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 boiler does not ignite and the display is off.
Cause: If the transformer on the PCB fails, power does not reach the control circuits.
Measure the output voltage of the transformer with a multimeter (it should be around 18V); if there is nothing, check the 100 mA fuse, which usually blows first.
- 02
The boiler turns off by itself and only works again when manually reset.
Cause: A fuse that repeatedly blows due to overload causes the control board to lose power and needs to be reset.
Note how long it takes to trip again after the reset; if it is very quick, the problem lies in a component connected to the PCB, not in the fuse.
- 03
The display flickers or resets itself occasionally.
Cause: An intermittent drop in the transformer current causes micro-cuts that the PCB interprets as resets.
With the boiler running, check if the flashing coincides with the pump starting or another load; if so, it indicates that the transformer is not handling the load properly.
Fault codes Saunier Duval that require diagnosis
| Code | Fault | Technical checks |
|---|---|---|
| F.42 | Resistance fault coding (probably in combination with F.70) | 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.70 | Invalid product code (DSN) | 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.97 | Main PCB self-check fault | 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.64 | Electronic fault / NTC | 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.27 | Safety shutdown: incorrect flame detection | The flame control electronics on the PCB can detect spurious flame due to moisture/leakage or a fault in the ionisation circuit on the board; check the electrode, grounding, and if they are correct, verify the detection stage on the PCB. |
| F.62 | Fault: gas valve control / delayed disconnection | The valve driver/relay on the PCB may not cut off in time or may stick, causing a delay in closing; check voltage/timings on the valve and, if the valve assembly is correct, the cause is the electronics of the PCB. |
| F.61 | Error: gas valve control | 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. |
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.
