Hi guys ,I am having problems with this boiler intermittently going off I ve changed usual suspects ,thermo c,overheat stat,it's looking like the gas valve solenoid ,my question is can you change the solenoid or is it a new gas valve ,?..

I would look at why switch live is energising first. Could be a problem outside the boiler, or you mean cutting out before it reaches temp?

I think this prehistoric old girl is ready for the 'Pearly gates'. Tis time to move on.....

Sorry I was a bit vague "going off" pilot light goes out and cust says it takes a while to relight ,I've called out and pilot lights ok but found I ve got to ease grey button fully out ,also cust says he can hear a buzzing noise then boiler lights on main flame ,hence the question on the solenoid ?

 

[Whyme]

Solenoids do buzz some times but work perfectly fine...Has it got an interrupter via a pipe stat?

 

[lolipop]

Yes it does ,it has a small cylindrical type sensor which fits in a dry pocket in hex which connects to a small red pop out stat then a short interrupter lead from stat to thermo c ,the stat had not popped out but something is cutting gas out
