What does the Glow-worm Easicom E380 fault code mean?
The E380 fault code on the Glow-worm Easicom indicates a central heating (CH) pump overrun fault. This means that the pump is not running for the required duration after the boiler has turned off, which can lead to overheating and potential damage.
Common Causes
- Faulty Pump: The central heating pump may be malfunctioning or blocked, preventing it from running properly.
- Wiring Issues: There could be a problem with the electrical connections or wiring that affects the pump’s operation.
Can I fix it myself? (DIY)
If you are experienced with boiler systems, you can check the pump for blockages and ensure that it is receiving power. However, due to the potential dangers involved, it is strongly advised to call a Gas Safe Engineer for any gas or electrical issues.
Estimated Repair Cost (2026 UK Prices)
The estimated repair cost for addressing an E380 fault could range from £150 to £300, depending on whether the pump needs to be replaced or if wiring issues need to be resolved. This cost reflects the price of a new pump and the labour involved in installation.
