What it is

The Glow-worm 801724 is an overheat thermostat, carrying the reference RC01 005, used across the Glow-worm CXI, HXI and SXI appliance families. It monitors temperature at the heat exchanger and interrupts the burner circuit when the appliance exceeds its safe operating limit, protecting the heat exchanger and surrounding components from overheating damage. It is a safety-related control device rather than a general-purpose room or cylinder thermostat, so it is replaced as a complete unit when it fails.

Signs this part needs replacing

  • The appliance locks out and needs a manual reset before it will fire again
  • Repeated overheat trips shortly after the burner lights
  • Shutdown during a hot water or heating demand with no other fault indicated
  • The overheat cut-out operates when system temperature appears normal
  • Intermittent lockouts that clear once the appliance has cooled down

Before you order

  • Check the GC number and serial number on the appliance data badge against the compatibility information for your model.
  • Confirm the thermostat being removed carries the 801724 part number or the RC01 005 reference.
