What you can safely do

  • Find your boiler's model name. It is usually on the front panel or in the user manual. The table below shows why it matters: Glow-worm codes can mean different things on different models.
  • Note when it started and what the boiler was doing (heating, hot water, or starting up).
  • If the boiler is still under warranty, check your warranty paperwork before you book anyone.
