What does the Glow-worm Easicom E950 fault code mean?
The E950 fault code indicates a flue gas pressure short circuit, which suggests that the boiler is detecting an issue with the flue gas pressure. This can prevent the boiler from operating safely and efficiently.
Common Causes
- Blocked Flue: A blockage in the flue system can restrict the flow of flue gases, leading to pressure issues.
- Faulty Pressure Sensor: A malfunctioning pressure sensor may incorrectly report flue gas pressure, triggering the fault code.
Can I fix it myself? (DIY)
It is highly recommended to call a Gas Safe Engineer for this issue, as it involves gas and electrical components that can be dangerous if not handled correctly.
Estimated Repair Cost (2026 UK Prices)
The estimated repair cost for resolving the E950 fault code is around £150 to £250. This includes potential costs for cleaning the flue or replacing a faulty pressure sensor, which are common issues associated with this fault.
