What does the Glow-worm Easicom E230 fault code mean?
The E230 fault code on the Glow-worm Easicom indicates a central heating (CH) flow fault, which typically suggests that there is an issue with the flow of water through the heating system. This can lead to inadequate heating and may require immediate attention to prevent further damage.
Common Causes
- Blocked Pipes: A blockage in the central heating pipes can restrict water flow, causing the E230 fault to trigger.
- Faulty Pump: If the circulation pump is malfunctioning or has failed, it may not be able to move water effectively through the system.
Can I fix it myself? (DIY)
While some minor issues may be addressed by checking for blockages or bleeding radiators, it is strongly advised to call a Gas Safe Engineer for any gas or electrical-related problems to ensure safety and compliance with regulations.
Estimated Repair Cost (2026 UK Prices)
The estimated repair cost for addressing the E230 fault could range from £150 to £300, depending on whether a pump replacement or pipe cleaning is required. This estimate includes parts and labour for a qualified engineer.
