have you checked the motorised valve and roomstat?

the 3 way is or was sitting mid position.but now only on water. (sunvic) not checked room stat. manufacturers want a new gas valve?

 

[Billy Bob Bob]

no basic checks first motorised valve or stats. this is not a gasvalve if it runs for 15 mins

Putting in new gas valve tomorrow. Valves ok room stat knackered. When it cuts off, still get 240v at solenoid but no drop on inlet pressure after hot surface igniter ki8cks in and then asks for gas....
