Honeywell Valve Not Working

[Harvest Fields]

Yeah they did. I checked with my electrician today. I just thought of something. When I switch the hot water on, should the oil boiler not ignite at least? It isn't doing anything. The oil boiler only comes on if I switch the heat on. This is all very confusing. Thanks for the help!

Nope

The boiler will only fire when at least one of your valves drive open and trigger the microswitch it looks like your HW valve is not doing that.

Do you have any hot water at all or does it run cold ?

He said it only gets hot when the lever is held in the open position mate.

Might be the valve could be how it's wired to the unvented cylinder

Holding the valve in the MAN position will not fire the boiler but your water will get hot when your heating is on.
