What does the Glow-worm Easicom F29 fault code mean?
The F29 fault code on a Glow-worm Easicom boiler indicates a flame loss issue, meaning the boiler has detected that the flame has gone out during operation. This can lead to the boiler shutting down for safety reasons.
Common Causes
- Insufficient Gas Supply: A blockage or issue in the gas supply line can prevent the boiler from receiving enough gas to maintain a flame.
- Flame Detection Fault: A malfunctioning flame sensor may fail to detect the flame, causing the boiler to shut down as a safety precaution.
Can I fix it myself? (DIY)
It is recommended to call a Gas Safe Engineer for any issues related to gas or electrical components. Attempting to fix these issues without proper training can be dangerous.
Estimated Repair Cost (2026 UK Prices)
The estimated repair cost for resolving a F29 fault could be around £150 to £250, primarily depending on whether the flame sensor needs replacement or if there are gas supply issues that require attention.
