    Glow Worm Fuelsaver 40B Mk2 Heat Exchanger Kettling

    I have an old Glow Worm Fuelsaver 40B Mk 2 installed on the kitchen wall. In November, the heat exchanger began making a kettling noise. It’s done this before. In the past, simply draining and refilling the system to flush out loose deposits was enough to stop the noise. In November 2021, I...
