I hAve a glowworm fuelsaver f35,
It's been working good using my hive thermostat.

Lastnight I put hotwater on ,but no hotwater, I checked boiler and the pump runs,fan runs but no pilot light . So I took bottom off and the red ignition button just pushes up so that tells me that it wasn't a overheating problem.

I took cover off and gave it a Good clean with hoover and brush but still same results.

Anyone shed any light on this. The gas in house works OK .

Phone a RGI.

I'm wondering if it would be the thermocoupler . I know sometimes that's the culprit for non spark .

I haven't got £160 for a call out . And it would be double time at weekend.

I'm doing easy stuff to eliminate that. If those don't work then no hot water or heating till I get payed next month.

Thermocouples for this model are impossible to find !!

Won't a universal one do from plumb centre or screwfix .

 

[Terrywookfit]

To put it bluntly....NO.
Your boiler does not HAVE a fookin Tc.

Ahh OK thanks. Found one online £25. What's the best way to test these without a tester. I tryed multimeter set to mv connected to one side, heat the others side up but meter reads 0.

 

[Terrywookfit]

WTF are you testing ??

The coupling. Unscrewed both sides . Side at igniter I put the probes and other side I heat up the end of it.

Just trying to eliminate things that are diy acceptable to fix.

That's the most common problem I've read about about boilers not working.
Everything clicks on. The pump and fan.

 

[Terrywookfit]

This has got to be a fookin wind up.

Which coupling are you trying to test ??

Photo would be good.

From my memory this is a positive pressure boiler, be carefully on case refitting and seals!

No fookin problem as it's not working.



Ive locked this thread as the OP has already stepped all over the boundary of what I'd consider acceptable DIY gas work and seems determined to press on regardless. Moderator
