How to check if the ref. 87472013020 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 87472013020. 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 ignition transformer 87472013020
The ignition transformer generates the high voltage for the spark of the electrodes. These are the typical symptoms and what to do:
Common symptoms and faults
- 01
The boiler tries to ignite, you hear a click but the spark does not jump.
Cause: The transformer does not generate enough voltage to produce the ignition arc in the electrode.
With the boiler off, check if there is a visible spark at the electrode when ordering the ignition, before changing the transformer.
- 02
It smells like gas for a few seconds and then the boiler locks out with a ignition fault.
Cause: The gas is coming out but it does not ignite because the transformer is not delivering the high voltage pulse to the electrode.
Check that the high voltage cable of the electrode is not cracked or shorting against the casing before replacing the transformer.
- 03
An electrical buzzing is heard in the ignition box area when trying to start.
Cause: A transformer that starts to fail can generate an audible hum without producing a spark.
Check if the buzzing stops when you disconnect the transformer, to rule out that the noise is coming from another component.
- 04
The flame ignites, but the boiler shuts down after a few seconds, repeating the attempt several times.
Cause: A weak or intermittent spark from a faulty transformer ignites the flame irregularly, and the control unit shuts off for safety.
Clean and check the distance of the ignition electrode before confirming the replacement of the transformer.
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.
