In Vaillant boilers from the VC/VCW E range, the pressure switch with fault code 605.99030 is a component that checks the air or water pressure and authorizes the operation of the boiler. If this part fails, you will notice that the boiler does not start or gets locked, even when the actual pressure is adequate. This pressure switch is compatible with models such as VC 112 E, VC 182 E, VC 242 E, VCW 182 E, VCW 242 E, and VCW 282 E, among others. It is recommended to replace it when there are starting failures or system lockouts.

How to check if ref. 050518 is the part for your boiler
What determines it is not the boiler model, but the reference printed on the part you already have installed.
- Find the reference printed on the installed part and check whether it matches the catalogue reference 050518. 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 and faults that the pressure switch 050518 resolves.
The pressure switch controls the air or water pressure to authorize operation. These are the typical symptoms and what to do:
Common symptoms and faults
- 01
The boiler locks out with a fault warning related to air pressure.
Cause: The pressure switch does not close the contact as it should, and the control board thinks there is not enough draft.
Check that the silicone tube going from the pressure switch to the flue is not detached, cracked, or filled with water.
- 02
The burner does not start even though the fan is working properly.
Cause: If the pressure switch does not close the contact, the gas valve does not receive the command to open for safety reasons.
Check the electrical connections of the pressure switch; a loose wire can cause the same symptom as a faulty component.
- 03
The boiler stops by itself from time to time, without a clear pattern, and it needs to be reset.
Cause: A faulty connection in the pressure switch can cause intermittent cuts, even if the air pressure is correct most of the time.
Gently move the pressure switch wires while the boiler is running to see if the fault recurs; this would indicate a loose connection rather than a break.
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.
