How to fix Glow-worm Easicom fault code E810

What does the Glow-worm Easicom E810 fault code mean?

The E810 fault code indicates a problem with the flue gas pressure sensor in the Glow-worm Easicom boiler. This sensor is crucial for monitoring the pressure of flue gases and ensuring safe operation; a fault can lead to inefficient heating or safety risks.

Common Causes

  • Blocked Flue: A blockage in the flue system can prevent proper gas flow, leading to pressure sensor faults.
  • Faulty Pressure Sensor: The sensor itself may be defective or malfunctioning, causing incorrect readings and triggering the fault code.

Can I fix it myself? (DIY)

It is strongly advised to call a Gas Safe Engineer to diagnose and repair this issue, as it involves gas and electrical components that can be dangerous if handled improperly.

Estimated Repair Cost (2026 UK Prices)

The estimated repair cost for fixing the E810 fault could range from £150 to £250, depending on whether the flue is cleared or the pressure sensor needs replacing. This cost reflects the complexity of the work and the need for a qualified engineer.
