What does the Glow-worm Easicom E980 fault code mean?
The E980 fault code on the Glow-worm Easicom indicates a flue gas pressure fault, which suggests that the boiler is unable to detect the correct pressure of the flue gases being expelled. This can lead to inefficient operation and potential safety hazards if not addressed promptly.
Common Causes
- Blocked Flue: A blockage in the flue system can prevent proper gas flow, 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 to diagnose and repair this issue, as it involves gas and safety components that require professional expertise.
Estimated Repair Cost (2026 UK Prices)
The estimated repair cost for resolving an E980 fault could range from £150 to £300, depending on whether the issue is a simple blockage or requires replacement of the pressure sensor.
