Glowworm 24hxi Boiler Fault Codes

Glowworm boilers
 Code Description Possible Cause
F1 Ignition fault (lockout) boiler failed to light

No gas

Insufficient gas

Incorrect gas valve adjustment

Electrode ignition lead defect

Electronic igniter defective

Check air inlet duct

Check connections to igniter unit

F4 Ignition fault (lockout) boiler went out when lit As F1 Possible Cause
F5 Overheat fault

Overheat stat operated

Maximum temperature exceeded

Check thermistor connections

Air in system with thermistor at maximum setting

Faulty overheat stat connection

Check that pump is wired into appliance and not programmer. This would cause no pump overrun.

F6 Central heating flow thermistor fault Thermistor cable defective/broken, thermistor faulty. Check that thermistor attached correctly to pipe.
F10 Central heating return thermistor fault Thermistor cable defective/broken, thermistor faulty. Check that thermistor attached correctly to pipe.
F11 Main board connection fault Check wiring between mainboard and user interface.
F12 User interface connection fault Check wiring between mainboard and user interface.
F13 Main PCB connection fault Check connections & wires.
F14 Central heating flow temperature is greater than 95 degrees

System fault

Possible pump failure

Check thermistor on flow

F16 Flame detection fault (flame presence for more than 5 seconds after burner stop) Gas valve defective
F17 Power supply is less than 170V Check electrical supply/polarity
F18 User interface fault Faulty user interface
F19 Central heating thermistor unplugged Check thermistor connection
F20 Software incompatiblity Incorrect user interface or main PCB
F24 Central heating return temperature is greater than 90 degrees

System fault

Possible pump failure

Check thermistor on return

F25 Maximum temperature rise slope

Possible pump failure

Air in system

F26 Maximum delta temperature

Check thermistor on return

System - too restrictive.
