    GLOWORM 50FF boiler fixed 6 weeks ago but not working again

    We had the burned out pcb and thermistor replaced and the boiler was working again but tonight the burner light wont light up. Thermostat set to 22 degrees etc. Any ideas. Could it be linked to the original problem not being fully /properly diagnosed ie something was causing the pcb to burn out...

    Gloworm Micron 50FF- sometimes fires up but doesn't heat hot water unless CH is on

    An electrician looked at the motorised valve and it is working and the water now heats up. Very strange.

    Micron 50 FF (Gloworm) fires several times but burner not igniting

    Managed to get a heating engineer to come out and he found the problem was a burnt out neutral on the PCB. Part will be ordered but why would it burn out. The plastic connection was black. Also do I need a new thermistor?

    Micron 50 FF (Gloworm) fires several times but burner not igniting

    Just recently after the reset button goes green, I turn the boiler on. It then fires up and stops and then immediately fires again and stops, about seven or eight times then it stops completely. When it stops the burner light keeps flashing green and the reset light comes back on. Does anyone...

    1 Cold radiator downstairs. pipe hot up to about 12 inches away from valve inlet

    I do not have TRV's. I tried turning all rads off except the problem rad but 2 of the rads won't turn off and the pipe is now cold leading to the affected radiator. I opened up the lockshield vave. Should I keep it open. Not sure what it does? balances?

    Gloworm Micron 50FF- sometimes fires up but doesn't heat hot water unless CH is on

    What could be the problem? It was serviced 1 year ago. Also sometimes even with CH and water programmed to come on it fires once, then fires again but stops after a minute or so. If I turn the electric off at the wall and reset it then switch on sometimes it will fire up but most of the time it...

    1 Cold radiator downstairs. pipe hot up to about 12 inches away from valve inlet

    AS fa as I know the radiators were all installed at the same time. We have been here 20 years and it has worked fine. I will try and do what you suggest tomorrow and let you know. I have read that the system may need balancing by doing what you suggest then gradually turning them on one at a time.

    1 Cold radiator downstairs. pipe hot up to about 12 inches away from valve inlet

    What could be wrong and what can I do about it? Water and heating on gets hot water hot and all radiators hot except 1 downstairs which remains cold. The downward pipe gets hot but there is a cold area in the pipe about 12 inches before it travels to the radiator valve which is open. Working...
