I have an F3 Fault Code on Glow Worm Boiler what can I do?

An F3 code on a Glow Worm Boiler is ‘fan unable to reach ignition speed’. If you are getting the F3 code on your Glow Worm Boiler then, it could be the case that the fan is running but not at full speed. This can happen when there is a fault with mechanical side of the boiler or a temperamental loose wire. It is also known when in very cold conditions that; when the condensing pipe has frozen up and there is no way for the water to leave the air duct or the flue, there becomes a dampness where the water freezers up and stops the fan from running at full speed. In any case from any of these incidents, it is very important you call a specialist Gas Safe Registered Engineer rather than tackle the problem out your self.
