Saunier Duval Themis 223 ME Electronic Ignition Box Ref. 51704
If your Saunier Duval Themis 223 ME boiler is making starting attempts without being able to ignite the flame, you may need a new Electronic Ignition Box. This part is an ignition transformer that generates the spark necessary to ignite the burner. When it fails, the boiler locks out after several unsuccessful attempts. It is compatible with other models in the Saunier Duval range, such as the Themis 625 ME, among others. It is recommended to replace it when these symptoms occur to restore the boiler's operation.

How to check if the part number 51704 is the one 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 51704. 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 ignition transformer 51704 resolves.
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 does not ignite: the gas opens but there is no flame.
Cause: The transformer does not provide the necessary voltage for the electrode to generate a spark, and the burner does not ignite.
Check the condition of the electrode and the high voltage cable before assuming that the transformer is faulty.
- 02
The boiler becomes locked after several failed ignition attempts.
Cause: The control board detects that there is no flame and cuts off the gas supply for safety.
Note the fault code that appears on the display; it will help you confirm if the issue is with the ignition.
- 03
The burner takes longer to ignite each time or fails more when the boiler is cold.
Cause: The winding gradually loses efficiency before completely stopping functioning.
Compare how the boiler behaves when cold and hot to identify the fault pattern.
- 04
A strange electrical clicking sound is heard near the burner when trying to ignite.
Cause: There may be a high voltage arc outside the electrode, caused by a leak in the transformer or in the wiring.
Visually inspect the transformer and the connections for signs of moisture, dirt, or burns.
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.
