glow worm micron 70ff

[gassafeengineer]

been to a glow worm micron customer complaining of gas smells out of flue

FGA it readings way out 2500ppm checked burner only couple of burners lit jets were blocked, fitted new jets still same reading but now all burners lit, gas pressure correct, gas rated also correct, but did notice alot of condensation inside boiler probably due to incomplete combustion

phoned glowworm who suggested new gas valve also fitted this and nothings changed

all case seals good and flue is good

any body have any suggestions ? i did wonder if fan speed was to slow could this affect it but i am clutching at straws never come across this before

The question would be better asked in the combustion chamber.

During routine quality inspection procedures it has been discovered that a manufacturing defect may be present in the above Glow-worm Micron boilers manufactured between 25th October 2006 and 2nd May 2007. All Micron boilers are tested after manufacture, but the defect does not become apparent until installation when, in some circumstances, the gas manifold can leak gas when the boiler is running.

Glow Worm are in the process of carrying out a free of charge safety inspection / modification to all of the relevant Micron boilers for which they possess installation addresses. They are seeking owners help to identify further boiler installations.

Please urgently call their free helpline 0800 783 8554 (Monday - Friday, 8am - 6pm. Saturday - Sunday, 9am - 12pm) with the installation address details of any of the above Micron boiler models that have been installed since the 25th October 2006. They will then contact the user and arrange for an engineer to carry out an safety inspection / modification of the boiler free of charge.
