Hi guys,

I tried to search for an answer but found "similar but different" posts...

We recently had to re-fill our boiler (a glowworm 80e) when the low pressure indicator came on, unfortunately the boiler ended up over-pressurised (my fault for talking the mrs through it on the phone and the phone cutting out before I said "and turn it off at 1bar pressure" :oops: )

To try and resolve the issue I bled a radiator until the pressure in the boiler came down to 0.7bar.

Now when the CH turns on the boiler makes a horrible hissing noise (i guess not enough water in the CH turning into steam?) and cuts out.

The hot water in the house works fine.

Before I get someone out to the boiler is there anything I can try or check to get it back up and running again?

Thank you in advance.

James

I thought the Glow Worm Compact 80e was a GAS Boiler??

Sounds like the pump is not working, when drawing off Hot Water the pump does not run as the boiler is equiped with a 4 pipe heat exchanger negating the need for a pump to generate Hot Water check the pump!! ;)
