Common Glow-worm faults

Glow-worm fault codes we diagnose

F22 — low water pressure (shared with Vaillant)
F28/F29 — ignition fault
F75 — pressure sensor or pump fault
Boiler lockout with no error code — flue blockage or condensate
Pilot light not staying lit — thermocouple replacement
Inconsistent hot water temperature — flow sensor or diverter valve
Boiler making whistling noise — scale or air in heat exchanger

London's hard water accelerates limescale build-up in boiler heat exchangers — a common cause of reduced efficiency, kettling noise and boiler failure across all brands. Annual descaling as part of a boiler service extends appliance life significantly.
