No heating or hotwater - Glow-worm Swift flow 75/80

[sah682]

Hello all

I wonder if someone may be able to help.

I have a combi boiler Glow-worm Swift flow 75/80

At present I have no hot water or heating, the boiler is on and the pilot light is lite but when you turn on a hot water tap nothing happens it just does not seem to kick in.

I have been told that it the condensation outlet pipe is frozen this can stop boiler working sort of a saftey feature but don't know if this applies to this boiler model?

I have heated this pipe with a hair dryer and some water has dripped out I have the turned the boiler on and off a number of times but nothing.

Any help would be great, it's getting rather cold now.

swiftflow doesn't have a condensate, you have probably been waming the pressure relief discharge pipe if there is water coming from it you need to check the system pressure.Is the fan working? put you hand at the flue, can you feel air movement?

There does appear to be any air movement at the fleu.

Also in this weather previously you have seen the hot air, condensation, coming from it and there is nothing.

Does this mean the fan then?

TW asked you to check the system pressure. Any chance of you doing this?

It might be the fan but you are guessing, he is thinking.

System prssure is around 1 which is where it has always sat really.
