Baxi Solo wm 40/4 rs not firing

Bugger me. I'm ∞ly surprised. Hadn't really noticed the toolbar. There's always something new to distract you from work:)

This is really a job for a RGi man , how will you know if it's not leaking gas when you replace the solenoid ? Get a professional in and sleep easy

Well in the same way it doesn't leak gas any other time the valve is energised, this non advice on here is going from the banal to the ridiculous.
 
When you replace the solenoid valve you have to disturb the rubber seal on the valve body , this can leak when the solenoid is activated and to check this you really need a gas sniffer probe ..

In the past (but not for a few years)I have worked on many if these and never seen a leak anywhere round there. Neither would I have especially looked. I am fairly confident you don't disturb any gas seal when removing it
 
Solenoid fitted and boiler fired up straight away. The rgi I had on standby for the valve also said that there were no seals or anything that would be disturbed :) thanks all for your input, much appreciated

You did it yourself!!
 
The way I'm reading this, it was just the solenoid coil changed. Not the complete solenoid assembly. In which case, how will the op cause a leak?
 
its an electro magnet....on or off, not shutting off fully is a fault on the gas valve which the op hasnt affected
