Immersions should be fitted with the correct gasket, The threads are too loose and coarse to seal with pastes or PTFE properly . Make sure the sealing faces are clean and smooth and tighten using an immersion key, stilsons etc are okay but dont apply even pressure and can make the threads bind...

Couple of possibilities here, its more than likely because the thermocouple is allowed to cool which then cuts the whole lot out. The pilot is being affected somehow , watch to see if the pilot is affected as main flame comes on and have the main flame gas pressure checked. If pressure is too...

Use the filling loop, usually a silver braided hose linking the mains water and one of the bigger heating pipes, open the valve(s) and let the pressure rise to about 1 Bar and shut off the water again. Should do the trick

If its got a pressure gauge on the front and its down to less than 0.5 Bar it will need repressurising, then hey presto it will all work, or check if its got a permanent pilot , relight

Difficult to answer this without seeing how the hot water circuit is plumbed so assuming it worked before and heating is okay. With the pump stopped try bleeding the coil at its highest point which is where the bleed should be, if not slacken a fitting at highest point and see if any air comes...

Phone Glow Worm directly and ask ....... nothing like advice straight from the manufacturer, they are usually pretty helpful :D

Good point Chris but arent these back boilers frighteningly identical to the Baxi Bermudas, lots of fronts for them....... not saying for a minute they are compatible but you never know!!.. I would say there are fronts out there, daft to make new back boilers without them.

Pressure for most modern boilers should sit at around 1 - 1.5 Bar when cold, use the filling loop to pressurise the system, check the pump has been vented as this can stall/ jam the rotor and that any air removal device on the boiler has its cap open a touch also ensure any bleed points at the...

Systems can make a lot of noise if they havent been vented properly when they are refilled, assuming it all worked before stop the entire system and bleed all the rediators from the bottom of the house upwards this includes the pump and boiler being free of air as any air gap in the boiler water...

If it is a washer drier there is usually an overheat thermostat which will cut the power to the heating elements of a washer drier, in Hoover machines there is a little device on the warm air ducting on the top of the machine . It has 2 wires and a little pin sticking up which will press in and...

Pumps are designed to cope with a lot of heat in normal use central heating systems but if they are pumping against a restriction or a greater head than they are capable of moving they will heat up and possibly thermally trip internally if one is fitted. Also they have to be fitted correctly as...
