gloworm compact 100e boiler problem??

[glyn ollivant]

my compact 100e is causing me problems!!

heating system is no problem.....getting hot water is proving difficult........i have to open the tap only a little to get any hot water.

investigating this it was found the gas valve [part 801182] was not operating properly.

we are now told it may be the controll board that may be defective???

do we need to buy both components to rectify this problem......or can we pin down the fault to one component & how?? this??

Its is your DHW microswitch working correctly? Its a common problem on the 100e. Have alook at this thread

who told you that your gsr engineer? find another as nas has said points towards a diverter issue who ever is faulting your puma is clueless

My Gloworm Compact boiler has the same problem!

My heating system is no problem.....getting hot water is proving difficult.... just luke warm water can be achieved.

I've had the diverter valve, diaphragm and pc board changed (this is because the pcb was reading low volts reading 24v and the rating should be 24-50v so I'm at the bottom end. I was advised to get another pcb which is fitted -but still has a low volt reading of 26v and has not solved the hot water problem)

Does this mean I have a faulty pcb or could the connections to the pcb be a problem? I also wondered whether the gas valve needed changing as it failing to flare up when the hot water is turned on- or could this be a result of not having power from the pc board?

Any advice would be gratefully received!!

Who is doing this work,the most likely faulty part only costs a few quid
Get someone in who knows what they are doing,
You are not only replacing parts for the sake of it but then changing new parts,unbelievable
imho
