If it is the latter then the pressure will be rising on the digital display up to 3 bar then releasing out of the pipe outside. This may mean that there is a problem with the expansion vessel having lost some air charge, or the expansion vessel pipe being blocked. However if it isn't leaking outside then there must be a leak somewhere on the system. Talk to an engineer and he or she should be able to locate the source of your problem to get this sorted.

I'd suggest you contact an enginner to arrange a visit. Hope it gets sorted very soon! Hi Nick – it sounds as though you have some kind of circulation problem with your system.

Recently, the overheat cutoff has been popping out about once a week leaving the house cold and not hot water in a morning. On pressing it, the boiler reignites and is fine. This has happened 5 times in the last month. Any ideas please. Thanks We have a Glow Worm Ultimate 80ff boiler which we have had for 16 years.

We have a list of engineers on the Glow-worm website who should be able to help. Hope it gets sorted soon.

Last night wee had a power cut and the boiler was off for from the mains for approx 6 hours. Tried all the tips in the manual but the boiler has refused to turn back on using the mains reset switch etc. I've checked the fuse in the plug (all ok) and I'm stumped as to what else the fault could be. Any idea's? Hi, I’ve a Glow Worm CXi 30 boiler which was fiited 3 years ago. Last night wee had a power cut and the boiler was off for from the mains for approx 6 hours.

It sounds as though the inlet gas supply may be dipping at various points of the day causing the combustion to go out of calibration, thus causing the rumbling noise. When the boiler is first set up, the combustion is set up to around 9.1% on the inlet working gas supply at the the time. So if it was set up with a pressure of 20 m/bar, and now it has dropped slightly to 18 m/bar, it will cause a noise issue. I'd suggest contacting your engineer again to rectify - please feel free to refer him/her back to Glow-worm if necessary. Cheers, Sally Hi JIm.

Sorry to hear you're disappointed with your new Flexicom. My colleagues assure me that the pipes can be routed up the back of the boiler via an upward piping frame. It is a stand off bracket which stands the boiler off the wall by 47mm and then the pipes can be routed up the back. I'd suggest contacting your installer again to explain why you're displeased and outline details as in above. Let me know if you have any problems. Cheers, Sally Hi Holly.

After seeing all of the images for this boiler on your sire and on the web in general non of them look like mine does right now. What, if anything can i do about this? |Can the pipes run up the back of the boiler? Non of the images Glow Worm show have unsightly pipes showing the way they do in reality. I am so disappointed with this boiler. Laura Hi There, In have just had a FlexiCom 30 installed and all the pipe work that comes out from the bottom looks absolutely awful.

The system was fully power flushed and serviced recently. Post service, every now and again, after the heating has been on for an hour or two we get a worrying deep rumble and vibration from the boiler usually just for a short while. It's as if the fan or some other device is or is trying to kick in. It sometimes now occurs when we run the water. We have had the engineer back to investigate but unfortunately the boiler behaves well while he is here. The heating and hot water seem to work ok. Any ideas?
