My very old Baxi Bermuda 5 will not fire up even though the pilot light is good and constant, it just refused to fire up but working well the previous day. I'm pretty sure the problem is the solenoid gas valve.
It appears difficult to remove in situ but if I can obtain one I will then employ a Gas Fitter to fit the thing just to last the winter.
Yes there is 240 volts ,thats ok.I think it's the solenoid part which may have corroded or burnt out, it's too hard to see with it all connected. I suppose these valves are like dodo's to locate. It's only a pretty simple valve,not multi function,there is no resistance,having tested it.
ANY help in locating one of these old baxi valves would be much appreciated.It connects to a negative,a long green resister
