Faulty Honeywell V8043E1012 Zone Valve
I believe I have a faulty zone valve or thermostat. No heat to the baseboards serviced by this zone valve. With the thermostat "on", the manual lever on the zone valve is floppy. It appears that the valve is stuck "open", yet there is no heat going to the zone. I manually opened a valve that is working correctly and noted the position of the arm on the valve stem. When I look at the valve in question, this arm looks like it's gone past the normal open position. The copper pipe into and out of the valve is hot but the return pipe is cool, no heat. Now, I shut off the thermostate by setting it to "off" and the arm on the valve goes back to it's normal position and the manual lever works as it should. I used the manual lever to "open" the valve yet there is still no heat. Any suggestions on what might be causing the problem? Thank you in advance!

Neither the stat nor the valve are the problem unless the valve isn't closing the end switch to turn on the circulator.
What type of thermostat do you have? How many zones? Other zones working properly? Is the zone in question possibly a second floor? What is the pressure on the boiler? |

I have a 2.5 yr old vaillant 37kw system boiler which has been great. Now there's a prob on the heating side. When the burner kicks in it heats up to about 50C then shuts off again with the pumps spinning. After about 1 hr of doing this on and off, it eventually heats up to the preset temp,...
Two days ago my plumber moved my thermostat to a new position in our lower level (in-floor radiant). 36 hours later the temp had dropped 10 degrees. When looking at the zone valve (honeywell v8043e1012) the motor (a replacement) was very hot and when I pulled it off it keep running as long as the...
The valve does not open when I call for heat. The manual lever is stuck in one position and I am unable to move it in any direction. I have an older style valve which I suspect I have to replace. Will the new motorized valve mount to the old body or do I have to replace the body as well?
I have 3 zones with 2 circulators. One circulator serves 2 Honeywell V8043E1012 valves. One valve serves the second floor of my home and may not be working correctly because there seems to be very poor hot water flow through the baseboards (it's cold!). I suspect the valve's power head may be...
