Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Turn off gas at the isolation valve and disconnect power before touching the gas valve. Only licensed gas technicians should adjust or replace gas valves.
Steps (visual/user level):
- Check gas supply: Confirm that other gas appliances work. If not, contact your gas supplier.
- Inspect connector: Ensure the electrical plug on the gas valve is firmly attached and not damaged.
- Reset and test: Restore power and reset the heater. Listen for the click of the gas valve during ignition. Absence of a click suggests valve or PCB fault.
Note: Do not attempt to dismantle or adjust the gas valve yourself. Contact a qualified Biasi service engineer for diagnosis and replacement.
