Glowworm 23C Boiler Fault Codes

Glowworm boilers

 Type of Fault Check

No domestic hot water or central heating

(No flashing warning light on control panel)

• 230V supply

• Is fuse blown

• Loose connections on control board (PCB)

• Faulty control or interface board (PCB's)

No domestic hot water or central heating

(A flashing warning light on control panel)

• Water pressure

• Shortage of air or gas

• Faulty temperature sensor • Overheating

• Wrong flue length

• Connections on air pressure switch (electrical or tubes) disconnected

No hot water but central heating ok

• Loose connections at hot water flow sensor.

• Faulty hot water flow sensor.

• Faulty control board (PCB).

 

 Component Normal Measure Check

Gas control valve

Resistance of coil 116Ω

Under demand during ignition sparks: 24V dc for 1 to 2 seconds, then 12Vdc (constant) at the gas control valve electrical connection

If 0 Volt: the gas control valve is not faulty.

If 24 Volts and then 12 Volts but no gas at the burner: Check if the gas control valve is stuck. If not, check the stepper valve.

Adjustment valve (step motor)

Close the gas inlet:

Dismantle the step motor (screw not sealed in).

Triger a demand and check that the valve opens during the ignition

If the valve does not move: Check the connections at both motor and control board (PCB).

Change the motor.

Replace the control board.

Domestic water flor To test: Use a new detector and connect it electrically in place of the faulty one. Blow through to simulate a demand for water.
