The resistance check guided me perfectly on to identify a faulty pilot burner solenoid (which I then swapped out avoiding the need to change the entire valve) on my Ideal Classic 350 boiler - thanks guys superb video - you are total life savers!!!
@@AllenHart999 if I could be cheeky and ask for advice/an answer. I've found its a common problem isolating worcester greenstar's electrical supply and then turning back on and blowing the fan? Have you heard of a way of preventing this happening? My mates a boiler expert and and says he just tells customers to be present when he turns them back on to witness the pop so they don't blame him lol. I've heard they've brought out a mark 2 fan now that doesn't have the problem but not sure if that's true? Thanks again for all your uploads.
wow :) omg thats the way how i was learning about the boilers about 17 years ago:( now im in the Spain and spanish service manual reallllllly poor :( am still digging in english service manual... ps. thats the best film about gas valves THX for you're work
Awesome stuff Roy and Allen. The more you teach the more you learn, the more you learn the more you teach. Thanks again for sharing, It is definitely caring 😎.
Really helpful! I find having this level of technical knowledge about individual boiler components makes everything easier, especially when diagnosing faults. Thanks for another great video.
Great video, very informative and well delivered. The issue I find is actually finding resistance value information to be able to complete the tests. What is the best way to get the numbers? You would think every manufacturer would just put the values for each component near the front of their manual so it's easy to find. Thanks Gents.
Thanks allen and Roy, its just great to simply understand those different resistances due to the voltages . as with alot of stuff its easy when you know it, but sometimes your too busy to stop and look.apreciate the vids
Welcome Allen! I want to know if a Westen Star Condens gas boiler is the same as the Baxi Duo-Tec! After cleaning (acidifying) the Al-SI heat exchanger, the "Automatic calibration" will start, but after ignition it will throw away the flame! There's a new electrode in it! The videos are very helpful, thank you!
Hi Roy does the second gas valve work the same way as the zero governor. I thought zero governors were negative pressure due to the fan sucking and blowing the gas onto the burner
Hello, you are giving very good technical information. I wish you would add the description feature with Turkish subtitles, I don't know English. I write this translation as an English translation on Google and throw it away. It would be greatly appreciated if you add the Turkish subtitle option to your videos
sir .how r u ? i liked your videos as the videos are informative to me. sir , i m trying my best to get admission in you academy in uk and i want to be an gas engineer . whats is to do for me to be trained by u ? please tell me.
Good afternoon, Questions: 1) Why does the gas valve have two coils (V1 - V2)? 2) Why do the two coils have different resistance measurements? 3) Do V1 and V2 open and close at the same time? Thanks
Hi Baffo, Thanks for the questions. 1/ The reason the gas valve has two solenoids is that one is the main solenoid and the other is a safety solenoid, in case one solenoid sticks in the open position or has dirt on the seat, the other would still cut off the gas. 2/ The resistance is different is due to the spring pressure they need to over come to open. 3/ Yes V1 & V2 both open and close together
Hello, my boiler has the following problem: When I request domestic hot water, the boiler works correctly, when I turn on the radiators the boiler starts with the burner at minimum power after a few minutes the burner starts to regulate, sometimes it stays at minimum power and then goes out. Please, can you give me some suggestions? Thank you
Great stuff as usual. I've got a question if anyone knows and it's regarding the very first valve you worked on. I was working on saunier Duvall Xeon. Pilot would light but main burner wouldn't. Question 1 How does the ignition lead send the signal to the pcb that ignition is present? Is this similar to flame rec? Question 2 MI's indicated this was a board fault, but customer already had another guy fit a new board so discounted this. I checked connections on the lead and the lead itself but still no joy. Anyone any clues as to what was wrong. I called glowworm but they advised that they can't give any technical help on this product anymore. Cant help but feel I missed something simple.
Hi Jordan, Yes it's the same as flame rectification. If the ignition is still sparking once the pilot has lit it could be either a bad earth connection or reverse polarity to the boiler (live to neutral crossed). If the spark had stopped once the pilot lights the Pcb has sensed the flame so could be main solenoid or solenoid lead, check if you have power going to the main solenoid once the pilot is lit.
Good evening, do the two solenoids V1 and V2 have the same function? Why is the resistance measurement of the two solenoids V1 and V2 different? Thank you.
Hi Baffo, One is the main solenoid and the other is a safety solenoid. The reason the resistance is different is due to the spring pressure they need to over come to open.

Roy is a great trainer on these gas valves, he explained the working process and test to perform to check serviceability and integrity.

Thanks a lot! Managed to pinpoint a faulty coil on the EV2 of the STS 848. Are there any instructions on how to replace the solenoids on this model?
Thanks Allen & Roy, very informative. Perhaps some close-ups on the pins testing would be useful?
Will do. Thanks
Thank you for sharing Allen. Great advice.

The safety is a heavier spring because it is fast close.
