How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Critical safety: Do not attempt to operate the boiler with a suspected gas valve fault. Turn OFF gas and power and contact a professional.

  • 1. Visual inspection: With power OFF, inspect the gas valve and its wiring for burn marks, melted insulation, or signs of overheating.
  • 2. Reseat connectors: Ensure the gas valve connector is fully engaged at both the valve and control board.
  • 3. Do not bypass: Never bypass or jumper gas valve circuits. This is extremely dangerous.
  • 4. Professional testing: A Noritz technician should measure coil resistance and board outputs and replace the gas valve or control board as needed.
