Automag zone valve with intermittent run-away heat

I don't really work with the Automag at all, yet we have a new customer that is explaining that two or three times this past winter it went on run away craze and overheated. He is saying two years ago the head was replaced but not the body (seems normal enough), so maybe there's some sticking going on? Thanks for any advice. Gary

    Auto mag

    My experience with them was that a lot of time the little screen in there is dirty that keeps the valve diaphragm from closing properly, in my situation I had to swap the whole valve out
