    Gloworm Compact 80e problem

    I'm ACS qualified and using the companies corgi 175504. I can set burner pressures but you can't set it if the pilot won't stay lit. Still learning though - i think i always will be. Every appliance is bloody different. There should be a limit to how many different models they can be allowed to...

    Gloworm swiftflow 75 problem today

    Here's todays problem for you all. pilot won't light high enough to even touch the TC and slowly diminishes whilst your still holding the knob in to lower than the level of the pronged thingy where the flame comes out of. I've stripped it back to the weep tube and blown through with dust air so...

    Gloworm Compact 80e problem

    Be aware these boilers use an unusual gas valve - check the max and min burner pressure on both DHW and heating - they often go off spec (higher). How can i check the min and max settings when its firing up and then almost immediately going down to a low flame before switching itself off as the...

    Gloworm Compact 80e problem

    Anyway, on another thread, i also went to a vokera 80sp today that won't fire up at all. When i took the covers off there was everything in there but the actual bird (it was like a nest). After i cleaned it all out it still wouldn't work and the fan isn't revolving at all so i'm gonna order a...

    Gloworm Compact 80e problem

    Yes i know where the DHW heat exchanger is and what it looks like and does but with you saying it was the first to get crudded up it confused me as i thought that the main heat exchanger would crud up first even though its much larger as whenever i unscrew the cap from a pump, there is nearly...

    Gloworm Compact 80e problem

    Blocked RETURN filter in lower pump connection - messy job. Is it a complete drain down job? Will have to get keys for upstairs flats so i can let myself in to bleed their rads when i top it back up.

    Gloworm Compact 80e problem

    I went to this one a couple of weeks ago and as there was a noise like noisy bearings coming from the fan area of this boiler i got a new fan for it. Went to fit it today and it hasn't cured the problem. This boiler is fine on DHW but on CH it fires up and after about 10 secs or so it goes to a...

    Ideal Mini no CH

    Thanks for that one Tony - I'll try again this week sometime. I managed to blow the lighting circuit at Sowerby bridge so someone will have to go out to that one anyway. All i did was to turn on a light switch and all the lights went out. I'm not completely incompetant, but i couldn't find the...

    Ideal Mini no CH

    i'm guessing that both have worked. Maybe it is me who just doesn't know how to turn the damn thing on properly? Both do have the inbuilt timeclock. There is someone living at the Beeston property and they haven't complained about it yet which leads me to think that there might be a switch on...

    Ideal Mini no CH

    Dickinson Harrison estate agents in the centre of Halifax. Their property management side of the business. One is in flats at Beeston in Leeds and the other is in a house at Sowerby Bridge. I thought that maybe the roomstats weren't calling for heat also or not wired correctly but as my...

    Ideal Mini no CH

    I am ACS qualified but with little experience as yet and have just started working for a property management company based in Halifax. In the last 2 weeks i have been to 2 fairly new converted mills that both have Ideal mini boilers in them and neither will work on CH but both work OK on DHW...
