Chattering

Options

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
  • Ok thank you.
