Hi all,
I've been plumbing or years and have always wanted to do my Gas. So for the last 8 months I have worked with a good mate and got through my Gas a few months ago.
Since then I have been doing landlord work, simple boiler repairs etc.
Today I looked at a Glowworm betacom 24c. It has a...
For all other Club Energy Members..
I just found out today (and confirmed by Glowworm) that if you sell one of their 15 year warranties - Vailliant Group Service must do the servicing..
Means I have miss-sold to some customers (told them I would do the servicing) - and done my self out of...
did a gas cert on this today - the fan was sticking so freed that off and oiled it . inlet pressure 21mb and burner press 13.5mb so all ok to data badge . left boiler on while I did other jobs and the radiators took ages to warm. decided to gas rate and got 7kw should be 10kw at that burner...
HI
Simple question - can the boiler run without the small external fan which is fitted on the top of the main fan.
What is it for - looks like cooler to main motor or something.
This thing just felt into pieces but the new fan assembly cost £150.
Just don't want to replace the whole unit...
Hi
A case of layman confused I think.
I have a Glowworm Capricorn back boile. The mand came to service it yesterday. The boiler was fine - passed all its sets quite happily.
However the gas fire (which vents through the same flue as the boiler failed the spillage test.
Looking at it it...
Evening everyone
the above boiler goes through the ignition process, sparks but no pilot and main flame. The fans bearings sound rough, if the panel of combustion chamber is taken off, it works. I have tried to search the forum but for some reason it doesn't work so apologies if repeat post...
Went yo this on Friday, water pouring out of prv, filling loop left connected and valve internals were letting by, disconnected the loop capped the valve, reduced pressure to 1.5 bar, arranged to go this week with new valves, got call later pressure back up to 3 bar, was thinking dhw hex and...
Hi All
We have a Flexicom 18 HX with missing wiring loom and PCB. Don't ask me how it happened - we are supposed to have systems that prevent this, but it has happened somehow.
We can't sell this as new, so someone can have a bargain if they can be bothered to fanny about with it. Particularly...
got to look at another dreaded cxi tomorrow customer said fan was hunting the nothing no display . I just know why do I bother as its not worth me fixing it when the boards are £205 - glowworm can come and do for £250
called to this today - remove spark electrode and clean and check voltage to ignition unit getting 80-95 volts ac on ignitor end of lead with lead disconnected from ignitor unit . speak to glowworm and they say I should only be getting approx. 58 volt ac and that its the board. not convinced I...
Hello there,
We've been experiencing problems with our Micron 50FF boiler for a while now, but it came to a head a couple of days ago whereby the circuit the boiler is on kept tripping out. Plumber has changed both motorised valves (one was leaking and the other has been on its last legs for...
Hoping someone can help!
I have the Glowworm compact 80e boiler and the pressure keeps rising to 3 bar and then the relief valve kicks in, here is what we have tested to rule out so far.
The filling supply/loop is ok, have taken and left this off to check there is no small leak letting...
Hi guys,
have ve been told the thermostat on the glowworm Majorca 3 BBU is obsolete.
Got a 80 year old with no money needing a replacement, don't have a part number as glowworm don't have electronic copies. Of the mi. They are sending me one in the post
anyone know the part number for the...
Mainly posting this to help someone out incase they come across this fault.
Anyone want to take a guess on this one:
f22 coming up would not go through ignition sequence just constant f22. (Overheat). Checked resistance on thermistors, o/h stat for continuity, cleaned condense trap. All okay...
