Got a Glow worm 18 flexicom with f22 fault.
I've replaced both flow & return thermistors, bleed all rads of air, removed the pump and cleaned it, it all seems fine and pump is strong, checked wiring continuity and that's all good. Boiler is only 6 years old and Glow worm have said it sounds like the main heat exchanger is blocked causing a restriction. Apparently they are prone to this. They don't sell a gasket kit to remove it and clean it so they've suggested I'd have to replace it! Probably better to replace the whole boiler, but it's only 6 years old.
Any one suggest anything else?
I've cleaned out the condense trap as well.
 
Does it try to fire at all or just faults out
 
Electrodes fine

What’s the fan pressure like against manufacturers listing

It can’t be serviced??
Does this model have a stainless heat exchanger or Ali type?
