Glow-Worm Micron 60FF fault
Our boiler has packed up this morning, and as we've only been in the
house 6 months I've got nothing to give me a chance of diagnosing the problem. It didn't help that I had to come to work, so I've not had time to investigate further but I can't find a copy of the manual online. The two green LED's on the panel are flashing, and the boiler is humming like the fan is trying to start, but other than that nothing is happening. I've tried powering off/on, but the fault stays. Does anyone have a manual for this boiler they could let me have a copy of by any chance, or some advice on this problem? Any help would be most appreciated. |

I now know that the flashing LED's mean it has a 'Software Sequence Error'. Now does that mean I've got a buggered PCB, or is it likely to be something else? |

Sounds like the fan is not spinning up, or the air pressure switch is not detecting it (obviously the control board can't tell the difference between a knackered fan and the sensor). -- Cheers, John. /================================================== ===============\ | Internode Ltd - http://www.internode.co.uk | |-----------------------------------------------------------------| | John Rumm - john(at)internode(dot)co(dot)uk | \================================================= ================/ |

These are not particulalry difficult boilers to fault find being about the same level as a Pott. Profile. ....the boiler is humming like the fan is trying to start ... Have you measured the supply to the fan? Have you traced through the wiring diagram? -- Ed Sirett - Property maintainer and registered gas fitter.

The fan is making a noise, the fault is coming up as a fan / APS fault prolly a gas valve fault then (smiley would follow if I did them) -- geoff |

Sounds like the fan is not spinning up, or the air pressure switch is not detecting it (obviously the control board can't tell the difference between a knackered fan and the sensor). Well, no - how can it ? It powers the fan and waits a finite time for the APS to register that the fan is working, if it doesn't then it flags up an error state -- geoff |

Ah Yes - obvious really, if only my brain had thought a bit, I'd have worked out what APS meant! Homer moment. |

I've had a quick look and the fan isn't spinning - based on the fact the vanes on the top of the fan are stationary, but I've not metered the feed to the fan because my test meter picked exactly that moment to die on me. Someone is trying to tell me something here I think. it's the second one I've come across today you might need my website You don't appear to have a Micron fan listed on your website. |
