noise

[jayne333]

hello for a few weeks ive had a noise coming from boiler,( only way i can describe it is a hum hum hum all the time when the heating is on, but can hear it louder upstairs tehn actually from boiler had it serviced a couple of weeks ago and bloke said it sounded like fan and said they can start to make a noise, but the past couple of days he boiler has been vibrating when u touch casing could this be the fan causing it? and if so does the noise and the vibration mean its on its way out replies much appreciated thnxs

Certainly sound plausible.
It's not a Glowworm Ultimate is it, they rattle quite a bit, especially the 100 and 120 models.

[jayne333]
