What does the Glow-worm Easicom E880 fault code mean?
The E880 fault code indicates an open circuit in the flue gas pressure sensor, which means the boiler is unable to detect the pressure of the flue gases correctly. This can prevent the boiler from operating safely and efficiently.
Common Causes
- Faulty Flue Gas Pressure Sensor: The sensor may be malfunctioning or damaged, leading to incorrect readings.
- Blocked Flue: A blockage in the flue system can cause pressure issues, preventing the sensor from functioning properly.
Can I fix it myself? (DIY)
It is recommended to call a Gas Safe Engineer for this issue, as it involves gas and electrical components that can be dangerous if handled improperly. Attempting to fix it yourself may void warranties and compromise safety.
Estimated Repair Cost (2026 UK Prices)
The estimated repair cost for the E880 fault could range from £150 to £300, depending on whether the flue gas pressure sensor needs replacing or if there are blockages in the flue system that require clearing.
