FAQs
What is the function of the fan assembly in my boiler?
The fan assembly is essential for the combustion process. It draws fresh air into the boiler for efficient gas burning and expels the burnt flue gases safely outside.
Which Glow-worm boiler models is this fan assembly compatible with?
This fan assembly (S227035) is designed specifically for the Glow-worm Micron 70 FF and 80 FF boiler models.
Can I install the fan assembly myself?
While technically possible, installing a fan assembly involves working with gas and electrical systems. For safety and to ensure correct installation, it is highly recommended to use a Gas Safe registered engineer.
How do I know if my fan assembly needs replacing?
Symptoms include the boiler shutting down unexpectedly, error codes related to the fan or combustion, or unusual noises coming from the boiler. A professional service can confirm a faulty fan.
What happens if the fan fails completely?
The boiler's safety mechanisms are designed to prevent the main burner from operating if the fan is not functioning correctly, thus preventing the release of dangerous gases and ensuring safety.
Does this part come with a warranty?
Warranty details typically vary by retailer. Please check the warranty information provided by the seller at the time of purchase.
Troubleshooting
Boiler fails to ignite or shuts down shortly after ignition.
This often indicates a problem with the fan. The boiler's safety system may be preventing ignition because the fan is not operating correctly to manage airflow. Check for error codes and consult a qualified engineer to inspect the fan.
Unusual noises coming from the boiler.
A worn-out or failing fan can produce rattling, grinding, or buzzing sounds. If you hear new or unusual noises, have the fan assembly inspected by a professional.
Boiler error code related to fan or combustion.
Consult your boiler's manual for the specific error code. Many fan-related codes require the attention of a qualified heating engineer to diagnose and replace the faulty component.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Compatibility: This fan assembly is exclusively designed for the Glow-worm Micron 70 FF and 80 FF boiler models. Always verify your boiler model number before purchasing. Using this part with incompatible boilers can lead to malfunction and safety hazards.
Setup: Installation of a fan assembly involves working with gas appliances and electrical connections. It requires disconnecting the boiler from its power and gas supply, disassembling parts of the boiler casing, and carefully removing and replacing the fan unit. Due to the safety-critical nature of this component, we strongly recommend that installation is carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer or a qualified heating technician.
Care: The fan assembly itself requires minimal user care. However, regular servicing of your boiler, including checks on the fan's operation and the cleanliness of the flue system, will help maintain its longevity and the overall efficiency of your heating system. Ensure ventilation points around the boiler are kept clear of obstructions.
