E07 error and boiler fails to fire when the store is cold
Safety Warning
This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.
If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.
Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: All work on mains‑voltage boiler control circuits must be carried out with power isolated. If unsure, use a qualified electrician or heating engineer.
Steps:
- Check boiler operation independently: If the boiler has its own controls, confirm it can fire when called directly. If not, the issue may be with the boiler, not the Gledhill unit.
- Inspect wiring: Trace the boiler enable/call‑for‑heat cable from the Gledhill PCB to the boiler terminals (often marked TA, RT, or room stat). Look for loose connections or damaged cable.
- Relay test: With power on and a heat demand present, listen for a click from the PCB relay. If no click and E07 is displayed, the relay or PCB is likely faulty.
- Voltage check: Measure across the boiler enable terminals when there is a demand. If the expected switched live/volt‑free contact is not present, the PCB output is defective.
Remedy: Repair or replace damaged wiring. If the PCB relay is faulty, the main control PCB will usually need replacement. Label all connections carefully before swapping boards.
