GLOWWORM COMBI NOT FIRING UP

[wellie]

I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH A GLOWWORM COMPACT COMBI BOILER. I PRESUME IT IS FAIRLY OLD AND I HAVE NO MORE DETAILS ABOUT IT.THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE PILOT LIGHTS OK BUT BOILER DOES NOT FIRE FOR H.W. OR C.H. ANY IDEAS? BOILER FAILED TO FIRE AS FROM 23/1/07

Have you worked thru the fault finding chart in the manual.

Just had same problem with mine but have not got a pilot..... electronic ignition instead.

Is the pump running?
Is the fan running?

Have you the electrical skills rqd to fault find / test the boiler?

Mine was not firing... no power supply to the fan, which turned out to be a faulty control board which cost me £130 this morning but was easy to replace.

JEZZY MANY THANKS FOR YOUR REPLY. I HAVE CHECKED ALL OVER BUT THERE IS NO MODEL NUMBER ANYWHERE. ALL IT SAYS ON FRONT COVER IS GLOWORM COMPACT?

click on 'forum' at the top of the page then click on 'who's online' at the bottom of that page and then click on 'jezzy' and then click on 'email' and my address should be in the address bar.

Alternatively i could have gone to 'wellie' as above and sent it direct to you (if your email address was there) but you haven't put your email address on your page so we'll have to do it the other way round.
