Chattering

Hi, can someone help. Honeywell VR 8300 gas valve on boiler (burnham boiler) is chattering. Is it something to be concerned about? I know it’s the gas valve because when I pull off the wire from TH or TR the noise stops, I take the wire off it goes away. Is it a safety issue? Do I need to change it? Thanks

    How do you know it's not the ignition control causing it?

    You can choose to do what you want, but you cannot choose the consequences.

    It’s a standing pilot type boiler

    Chattering is usually a bad connection or low voltage. It also could be the gas valve or whatever controls it.

    Get it fixed or something will fail
