    gas solenoid valve

    When my gas fired steam heating boiler fires up, A loud buzzing noise is coming from the gas solenoid valve. It goes away after a while. System semms to be operating OK. Do I have a problem here?

    Valve

    It sounds like the magnetic coil is the buzzing problem. It can last like that for a long time or the coil can fail. The coil can get excessively hot and burn up. Not an ideal situation with a flammable or explosive fuel. My policy is to never fool around with gas valves. If it is not perfect, REPLACE IT.

    to the solenoid, if the buzzing stops problem solved, if not replace the valve.
