What does this error mean for the Roca boiler?
Boilers help keep our homes warm and comfortable, so they play an important role in our lives. Roca brand boilers have the particularity (depending on the model) of assigning errors using LEDs that indicate the temperature selector. These boilers do not have an LED screen that tells you, for example, "Error 60", but rather it marks the temperature indicating that the fault is "60 80 90", with the LEDs for temperatures 60, then 80, and finally 90, all lighting up simultaneously.
The error code 60 80 90 in Roca 20/20F boilers indicates that there may be a problem with the pressure switch or with the flue gas outlet of the appliance. This fault generally affects the Victoria 20/20F model boilers more and can be more than just a number; it is a warning sign for us to take action and prevent bigger problems in the future. Let's look at its possible causes:
- Issues with the pressure switch: If the pressure switch is not functioning properly or is dirty and not properly maintained, it can cause problems in your boiler.
- Defective or poorly maintained fan: A fan in poor condition can disrupt pressure and airflow, resulting in errors that may appear on the screen.
- Obstructions, dirt, lack of general maintenance: Dirt buildup can impede the fan's movement or affect the operation of the pressure switch.
- Improper installation of the flue pipe: If the pipe is improperly installed, too dirty, or exceeds the 3-meter recommendation by the manufacturer, it can cause this fault in your boiler.
These causes may lead to this fault appearing in your Roca Victoria boiler, so take note, because we will now explain the solutions for you to resolve this issue.
Can a solution be found for error 60 80 90 on the Roca boiler 20 20?
We have prepared a list of possible solutions for this problem that affects your Roca Victoria 20/20F boiler. Follow the steps to the letter and pay attention to the details, because surely, with this guide you will find the definitive solution:
- Turn off and disconnect the boiler to rule out temporary errors that the system may have: Let's perform this procedure, which is super simple and will not take you more than 15 minutes. It consists of disconnecting the boiler from the power outlet for about 15 minutes. By doing this procedure, we will reset the boiler's sensors and possibly find a solution to this problem. Once the 15 minutes have passed with the boiler disconnected, you can reconnect and turn it on to check if the problem has disappeared.
- Check your boiler's pressure switch to verify its operation and connections: You can visually check the pressure switch to see if it is very dirty or lacks maintenance. Make sure the pressure switch is correctly connected to the boiler and pipes. Also, check its electrical wiring and ensure there are no loose or damaged wires, and that the connections are not corroded or in poor condition. Check that the pipes connected to the pressure switch are not clogged or blocked; if they are, clean and clear them. If you notice that the pressure switch is not working correctly, replace it with a new one compatible with your Roca boiler model.
- Perform preventive maintenance on your Roca boiler to ensure its optimal operation: Give your boiler a thorough check to perform good preventive maintenance, clean any soot that may have accumulated on the components and smoke exhaust. Focus your efforts on the pressure switch, fan, and smoke exhaust. Clean any traces of soot, dust, and dirt inside the boiler, then check if the error has disappeared.
- Check the internal wiring of your boiler and connectors, especially those of the fan and pressure switch: Ensure that the wiring is in good condition and that the connectors are firmly attached, both on the PCB electronic board and on the fan and pressure switch of your boiler. Check for sulfate on the connectors and proceed to clean it completely. You can use an electronic cleaner or a sulfate remover chemical to help you with this task, also use a bristle brush to clean everything well and ensure they have a good connection. Verify that the wiring is not loose, cut, and/or burned. If you find any type of problem, you must make the necessary repairs as appropriate.
- Check your boiler's fan and perform maintenance if necessary: Check if the fan is visibly stuck and if it feels stuck when trying to turn it. Clean any dust, soot, and dirt that may have accumulated on both its blades and the little motor that activates it. The fan must spin freely and without any blockages, not getting stuck with absolutely anything and having good speed and stability when spinning. You can use an electronic cleaner to clean it and then apply a few drops of mechanical lubricant so that it can spin without any friction. If the fan has a problem that cannot be repaired, then you will need to replace it with a new one. If after all the checks and maintenance this error persists, consider replacing the fan. In that case, uninstall the fan from your boiler and look for a replacement that is compatible.
- Check that the smoke exhaust is not blocked and that it is correctly installed: Consult the Roca manufacturer's manual for your specific boiler model and verify that the installation of the smoke exhaust is properly installed. Remember that the pipe should not exceed 3 meters in length along the entire exhaust. Clean the entire pipe well and remove cobwebs, dust, soot, dirt, and even nests of birds and/or dead animals that may be inside. It often happens that birds or rodents nest in your smoke exhaust when you are not using it in the summer, causing when the winter season arrives and you need it, it is all covered and will cause you problems.
