What does the Glow-worm Easicom E130 fault code mean?
The E130 fault code on a Glow-worm Easicom boiler indicates a blocked flue, which prevents the safe expulsion of combustion gases. This issue can lead to dangerous situations, including the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning.
Common Causes
- Obstruction in the flue: This could be due to debris, bird nests, or other blockages that prevent proper airflow.
- Incorrect flue installation: If the flue is not installed correctly, it may not function as intended, leading to blockages.
Can I fix it myself? (DIY)
It is highly recommended to call a Gas Safe Engineer to address this issue, as working on gas appliances can be dangerous. Attempting to fix a blocked flue without proper training may lead to serious safety risks.
Estimated Repair Cost (2026 UK Prices)
The estimated repair cost for resolving a blocked flue issue is around £150 to £300. This includes the cost of a Gas Safe Engineer’s visit and any necessary repairs or cleaning of the flue system.
