Set Appliance State:

Isolate Mains Power to appliance as per TOPs P4
Set Multimeter to Resistance Set meter to measure resistance
Remove electrical connector to the gas valve

Measurement:

Test 1:
Measure the resistance across the two terminals of the gas valve.
Expected resistance approximately 44.0 Ohms.
Test 2:
Measure the resistance between the right hand terminal of the gas valve and an earth connection (use the copper pipe to the gas valve as earth).
Expect a reading of 1Mohm or greater.
Are the resistances measured as expected?
