How to Replace a Worcester Bosch Greenstar 25i Combustion Fan (UK)

Fit a new combustion fan on the Worcester Bosch Greenstar 25i. UK part number, isolation and torque steps.

Worcester Bosch

Part number

The Worcester Bosch Greenstar 25i uses the fan assembly 87172043260. Check the GC serial number sticker inside the case — Worcester Bosch revised the combustion fan at least once during production.

Isolate

Turn off the gas at the isolation cock. Switch off 230 V at the fused spur. Drain to just below the combustion fan: on the Worcester Bosch Greenstar 25i, the drain-off is on the return pipe.

Fit

Unclip the combustion fan. Transfer the O-rings if OEM includes new ones — always fit the new seals supplied. Torque any brass unions to 25 Nm. Refill to 1.2 bar, bleed and fire for a wet check.

Frequently asked questions

OEM or compatible?
For gas-carrying components on the Worcester Bosch Greenstar 25i always fit OEM. Non-gas parts (fans, PCBs, pumps) — OEM keeps the warranty valid.
Do I need to re-commission?
Yes — record combustion CO/CO₂ ratio after any gas-side work per BS 6798.
