    Glow-worm 18hxi intermittent fault

    ​ Chris, Here is the quote (or very similar) "I have now resolved the problem, without your help. I spoke to Glow-worm where the technician said it was a PCB fault so I ordered and fitted a new board (very expensive as well) - which made no difference, so I contacted them again and a...

    Glow-worm 18hxi intermittent fault

    Chris, No problem. I have not done anything as of yet. After optimising my settings through the Glow-worm tech dept, the boiler tripped at least once a day. Something I then did (14th Mar), was to put a small piece of tape across the bottom section of my Flue. I read this on another board...

    Glow-worm 18hxi intermittent fault

    Glow-worm 18hxi intermittent fault

    Glow-worm 18hxi intermittent fault

    F1 code says Ignition fault, no gas, insufficient gas, gas valve adjustment, electrode ignition lead or igniter + connections defective and air inlet duct. All of these have been checked I believe. F4 code says as F1

    Hi, Got a Glow-worm 18hxi boiler (6yrs old) with an intermittent fault. Cuts out with F1 or F4 code message. Sometimes runs for several days with no problem, then cuts out once or twice same day. Regularly serviced by our local plumber (also fitted it) but he cannot find the problem. Had the...

    Just look at the overhang!

    I have done all the things you have suggested, LED's, loft insulation and "A" rated windows. (used my FITs payment to do them) I also have a 4kW South west facing SP system. My usage has dropped from over 5000kWh a year (in 2011) to 2450kWh last year. Most of the savings come from my SP This...
