Glow worm spares..... not listed bit!

[beefster]

I had a prob with my Glowworm 100e Combi not supplying hot water. On closer inspection the domestic hot water switch was not operating. This was due to the sprung steel retainer being broken.

I can not find this part listed on any site i have looked at....... Anyone got any ideas where i can get one........ it probably only costs pennies but is causing much hassle. I don't want to buy the whole switch assembly! i phoned the glowworm help line and was referred to the service line.. and then the customer service help line... a premium rate number... sod that!

Would be very grateful for any pointers.

Thanks

That washer looks a bit big for that flow switch

Prob didnt make myself clear.... I only want the sprung steel retainer, the switch works ok when it is held in place correctly.
That does not look the right part to me?
Domestic hot water micro switch, part No 801199, GC No. E27185.
I need the retainer that holds it on.
Thanks for the reply anyway

Part shown is for a swift flow.. You probably want the bit for the 100 compact that has a little half inch silver clip.. doubt you will get one as they have changed the design of the micro switch and is now fixed by a circlip. You will have to get the entire micro switch assy about £16 . Although both micro switches beside each other look the same make sure an order correct one as one is 2 wire connection other is 3 wire

Thanks for that..... might try and make a retainer first, but at £16 hardly worth the hassle!

"""I don't want to buy the whole switch assembly!"""

When filling up a 4 x 4 to do the "school run" the bill must come to well over £100. A meal out for two is £30-£50 so is £16 for a new flow switch really that much to be bothered about?

Dear arrogant, sorry.... Agile....... Thanks for your far from constructive reply.....
You do not know me or how I live or my current financial predicament.
Dont assume we all have cash washing around, or feel the need to pay someone for something we are perfectly capable of doing ourselves.

I made the part and it works just fine...... Thats 1/2 a meal out in my wallet rather than someone elses by your reckoning! Its only a b**dy spring clip!

Electric cable "Ty-rap"'s are handy for that sort of thing.

I've got TWO 4x4's.

They're fairly cheap to run, they keep 'er indoors quiet and give me something to moan at when she complains about the number of boiler bits in the kitchen. They do scratch the sofa a bit though.
