Technical description: pump overrun
What causes the Glow-worm S.07 fault?
This status appears when the boiler's internal computer determines that the heat exchanger is still very hot after a heating or hot water cycle. The pump continues to circulate water briefly to dissipate this residual heat and protect the internal components from overheating. Once the temperature drops to a safe level, the pump will stop and the display will return to normal.
DIY fix possible
Wait 5-10 minutes for the cycle to complete naturallyEnsure at least one radiator valve (bypass) is fully openCheck that your room thermostat is turned down
