 Central Heating Problem? - Fenlander
Yes... lots of detritus gets them quite quickly. We're on our 3rd or 4th motorised valve in 16yrs here.

Hitting with a hammer will often be an immediate short term cure but eventually the stress of turning the stiff valve will kill the motor. What is a better is to remove the motor and manually work the valve loads of times... this will often lose the deposits for a good bit longer.

For various reasons I've got the drain down of our system to a well practiced procedure so I just change the whole valve.
