Worcester Bosch Greenstar 4000 System fault 234
Gas valve electrical fault
Gas boilerWhat it means
Locking fault (V category). Electrical fault detected on the gas valve circuit.
Likely causes
- Low or no gas supply to the property, or restriction on gas valve inlet
- Loose connection on the gas valve or board
- Faulty continuity down harness
- Incorrect voltage to the gas valve
- Water ingress on the gas valve connections
- Incorrect gas valve resistance
- Faulty PCB
- Incorrect gas type
- Incorrect gas supply pressure
- Faulty flue system
- Incorrect gas/air ratio
- Faulty gas valve
- Faulty seals around the burner, internal flue seals or case seals causing abnormal O2/CO2 readings
- Flue system integrity failure
- Combustion circuit fault
Where to start
- Check the gas supply to the property and the inlet on the gas valve (check drop on inlet).
- Check the connections on the gas valve and the board (loose connection).
- Check the continuity down harness and replace if required.

Safety: Isolate gas and power before you open the case. If you have been into the gas side, do a tightness test, and a combustion and flue check before you hand back. Gas Safe (UK) or RGI (Ireland) work only.
