Apologies - I am not a plumber - not sure if it is ok to post here but...
It's freezing and my boiler is not working so, I wonder if anyone can offer me advice?
I have an old Glowworm Micron 30FF. Must be about 18 years old. The whole system needs replacing if I am honest - the tank it fills is not in good condition. But right now money is really tight and anything I can do to get a few more weeks or months from the current system would be worth considering.
Having gone through the manual's trouble shooting, the LEDs indicate Fan/APS issue. The unit sounds like it powers up when I switch the hot water or heating setting om (there is a quiet but audible sound coming from the unit), but no hot water goes to tank or radiators. The boiler gets very mildly warm to the touch, which I assume is just the pilot light, as it can get much hotter.
Prior to this issue, for about a year it was rattling very loud - more audible outside the flat than inside though.
I know I should have dealt with this long ago, but the cost has been prohibitive for me.
I am not a DIY expert by any means but is there anything I can do myself to get the unit running again, even for a few days or weeks while I look into replacement options and try to beg borrow and steal the money!? It's pretty cold out there right now!
thanks so much!
