Sorry for the long post!
I woke this morning to find no hot water and no central heating from my Glow-Worm 23c Combi Boiler. The red fault light was flashing. I tried a few times, resetting the boiler to get heating and hot water but the boiler did not fire up at all, it didn't even spark. As soon as I got back home later in the day (4 hours later), I tried again, and to my amazement (as I hadn't touched anything else) turning on a hot tap, fired up the boiler and hot water came out of the tap. However, as soon as the tap was switched off again, the boiler red fault light came back on and the boiler locked up. After resetting the boiler again, I tried the central heating. As soon as the central heating switch was turned on, the red fault light came on and the boiler locked up. So to sum up, I can get hot water but when the tap is turned off again, the boiler locks up and I have to reset it before I can get hot water again. And I have no central heating. I have read through the manual, and although it doesn't refer to my exact fault, a similar fault seems to point to the PCB. I have tried reseating all the plugs onto the board but the fault still remains. Before I go and spend £150 on a new PCB, does anyone have any similar experiences with this boiler, or a similar fault, or can offer anymore advice on what I should do? Thanks Paul |
