Worcester Greenstar EA Fault Repair

Heat exchanger strip clean and replacement electrodes

Location Northamptonshire
Completed September 2026
Service Boiler Repair
Scope Strip clean and electrodes

The Brief

The customer's Worcester Greenstar 30CDi was showing an EA fault code, which on a Worcester boiler means it has tried to light and failed to detect a flame.

What We Did

Our repair included:

  • Fault finding: we confirmed the EA ignition fault.
  • Heat exchanger strip clean: the heat exchanger was stripped down and cleaned to clear the build-up.
  • New electrodes: the old ignition and flame-sensing electrodes were scaled, so we replaced them with a new set.
  • Reassembly and testing: the boiler was rebuilt and tested.

The Result

With the heat exchanger strip-cleaned and new electrodes fitted, the boiler was back up and running. An annual service helps catch this kind of build-up before it leads to a breakdown.
