Glowworm Micron 50FF - not working properly

Teacher2301

Since the weekend, my boiler has been working sproadically - it will come on after a long period of being off (timer controlled) but whenever I try to turn it on manually, the fan comes on but the burner does not light. Boiler installed circa 2002 brand new in a new build house. Any ideas? Have searched google and the main problem seems to be pcb failures? If this is the case, whats the expected cost to get replaced and how much in total should I expect a corgi registered plumber to fix the problem?

Cheers.

Yep - had to replace pc board - capacitors went - burn/ scorch marks on circuit - bit worrying - £150 for new board as well.

Just to add to this thread, we've just had another PCB go wrong on our Glow Worm Micron 50FF.

That's the third since we've owned this house (one year).

I was unlucky enough to have this model in my old house too. That went through 3 PCB's in the 2 years since I had it fitted.

My advice:- steer clear of Glow Work Micron boilers!
