Hi all can someone help me out. How exactly do I check the resistance on the solenoids of the gas valve I can't get my multimeter anywhere near the connections

Thanks in advance
 
Worcester used to do a test card for this purpose (pub end testing)

If the solenoids are at the back it’s probably the old style valve!
 
I’d connect up my u-gauge to the gas inlet, if the pressure doesn’t drop on ignition (when power applied to gas valve) then it’ll be the valve!

Sometimes you’ll see cracks on the solenoids, this can be a sign it’s given up! You’ll need a torch & flexi mirror...
