Hi,
I have a Glow-worm Fuelsaver "F" which, after emptying the central heating / radiators to perform a spot of remedial plumbing (thanks to my wife knocking joint whilst hoovering!) the unit no longer wants to re-ignite the pilot, so although I'm not too fussed about no heating at this time of year, I'm a bit stuck with no hot water....
After reading some articles on"diynot.com" I believe that I need to re-pressurise the cylinder, or reset the overheat switch. (hope I'm using the right terminology here), but as I don't have a manual or troubleshooting guide to hand I'm struggling to even get the cover off.
The unit is wall-mounted inside a cupboard with about 2" clearance to the left & right, and with the base of the unit about 4' from the floor. There's limited access to the top of the unit without dismantling the cupboard.
So, my question(s) is/are:
1. do you know how I should approach taking the outer casing to find this allusive over-heat switch, or begin searching for this pressure valve.
2. Am I barking completely up the wrong tree? and if so, what should my next steps be?
Many thanks,
Dave
