Ok Point to note if it blows the fuse you have mixed up the neutral wires. If the system still fails to work with the link in the problem is else where. It is a straight forward job for a experienced engineer 30 mins if only the timer change. But if other problems exist the who knows...

The worst bit is having to ask to borrow a hair dryer, before I brought my own.

Look a honest gas man give him the job :)

Bet you have all done the same as jivers88 at some point :lol:

yes 1 and 2 are the control wires putting 240v into these wires should bring the system on if you have not messed anything else up.

Dont forget to turn the power off when putting in the link!

with the clock removed take a piece of wire link terminals 1,2, to the live. Does the boiler fire now?

excluding the earth wires how many wires do you have.

Oops! What boiler is it?

Please dont play with the flue/chimney it probably the worst part of a boiler to mess with! Get a qualified engineer to look. It should not be leaking, if water gets out so does CO.

I`m scared please go and retrain :cry:

The 15 Hxi is the closest to it but Glowworm can give you all the tech support you need as the settings change for different models in the range. Fan speed settings must be checked and set when installing new boards.

Wait for the engineer. The warning is flame failure and not a problem you are likley to solve, unless of course the wife has hung her handbag on the gas meter shut off valve.

Wonder how much money has been wasted by people buying gas fires from say B and Q then calling a gas man to fit it only to be told it does not fit, oh by the way my time has just cost you £xxx.

yes about once a week where the engineer has not set the boiler up correctly installing the new board. Check the paper work that came with the board. Check also that the connections to the pcb as it is very easy to put them in the wrong way up.

Knowing that boiler its most likely, considering Ideal do a one off fixed fee repair that is genarally the best option. In the past they had some nasty problems with fans,pcb's and holes in the main heat exchanger due to a design fault.

Keep in mind that from the phrasing of your post you may not be qualified to make the adjustments needed to set the combustion of this boiler and are at great risk of causing problems to the gas settings. The controls boards adjust the fan and gas rates of this boiler be careful and use a...

Have you checked the correct settings of the PCB and user interface The Glowworm range of these boilers have had a pcb and user interface upgrade mixing and matching the two can cause the f1, f13 fault.

Why do you need to change it. You set the temprature to the how hot you need it at the tap, over 60 degrees c and you cause greater scale build up. No tank stat is that accurate and in all cylinders stratification takes place (hotter at the top than bottom). My advice would be set it and leave...

45 degrees , 90 degree bends on a chimney/flue should not be used.
