2024 Glow Worm Boiler Error & Fault Codes


If the Glow Worm boiler flashes an error code, it is recommended you don't reset the error code yourself. In some cases resetting the error code will only be a temporary solution but at other times with your Glow Worm boiler could render it inoperable. This is why it's a good idea to try and diagnose the issue yourself – but only if you're qualified and experienced enough and know what you're doing, or call out a professional Glow Worm engineer.

An error code will flash on the display panel of your boiler. These codes are designed to help users to resolve general faults and they appear when something has gone wrong with your boiler.

Glow Worm error codes are used to diagnose problems and faults within your boiler system. Here we provide a comprehensive list of error codes for Glow Worm boilers, together with an explanation as to what each means and how to fix the problem.

Betacom Boiler Error Codes


Glow Worm boiler error codes indicate a problem your Glow Worm boiler has detected, for example a faulty part or poor flame characteristics. The Boiler Error Codes are categorised into five categories that describe what the errors are and what you need to do about them.

Below is a list of Glow Worm Betacom Boiler Error Codes. Each code contains a short explanation for the cause of the problem, what effect it can have on your boiler and what you can do to get it fixed.

Fault Code Possible Cause
Red LED onLockout - Low water pressure, Make sure pressure is above 1.5bar, reset boiler
Red LED flashingDHW temperature control knob in service position - Turn DHW control knob into temperature range
