Glow Worm Boiler Fault Code



Glow Worm boilers vary by simple identification of problems with the help of Glow Worm boiler fault codes. Below are 2 tables, thanks to which you can not only determine the cause of the problem, but in some cases you could fix the problem yourself. The table has fault codes, description of problem, possible cause and suitable solution. These tables will become an indispensable manual for the owners of boilers of this brand. They will help with the accuracy to determine the problem and decide whether to contact the service center or call the repairman or you can fix a problem yourself.

Glow Worm SXI Range 157235 Boiler Fault Codes

CODEDESCRIPTIONPOSSIBLE CAUSE
F1Ignition fault (lockout) Boiler failed to lightNo gas
Insufficient gas
Incorrect gas valve adjustment Electrode Ignition lead defect Electronic igniter defective Check air inlet duct Check connections to igniter unit
F4 (error solution F4)Ignition fault (lockout) Went out when litAs F1 possible cause

Check Thermistor on flow
F16Flame detection fault (flame presence for more than 5 seconds after burner stop)Gas valve defective
F17Power supply is less than 170VCheck electrical supply / polarity
F18User interface faultFaulty User Interface
F19Central heating thermistor unpluggedCheck Thermistor connection
F20Software incompatibilityIncorrect user interface or Main PCB
F21Lack of water fault (pressure is less than 0.5bar)System leak or faulty pressure sensor
F22 (error solution F22)Upper water pressure (is greater than 2.7bar)Filling device open
F24Central heating return temperature is greater than 90°CSystem fault Possible pump failure
Check Thermistor on return
F25 (error solution F25)Maximum temperature rise slopePossible pump failure Air in system
F26Maximum delta temperatureCheck Thermistor on return System – too restrictive
