My erie zone valve is passing water when not energized

in THE MAIN WALL
I have an Erie Zone valve; model AG13A02A that seems to be passing water. My Thermostat is off, the manual over ride on the zone valve is in the closed position but water is passing by. Will replacing the actuator fix this issue or would the whole valve need to be replaced?

Strange thing is that this is intermittent, but when it happens the valve seems to still be in the closed position. Am I losing my mind?

    what is is installed on

    and what pressure is it trying to close against? It should have a cap on the bottom to inspect inside the body. Drain off the pressure, remove the cap and look to see if a solder ball or teflon tape is lodged inside.



    In some cases the paddle can come disconnected from the stem. i believe you can get a repair kit with stem, mo-ring, and paddle.
