Water Valve
The water valve is a 120 VAC, dual solenoid type,
and is accessed by placing the control panel in
the service position. It is inserted and retained in
a cutout in the rear of the backguard and held in
place by 2 hex-head screws. It is only available as a
complete assembly.
• The water valve has a flow rate of 2.1 gallons (8
liters) per minute.
• If the pressure switch is not satisfied within 20
minutes, a fill error code will be recorded. If the
pressure switch has not opened in 45 minutes,
the main control will de-energize the water valve
and place the washer in pause mode.
• Each solenoid coil has an approximate
resistance value of 1.1K Ω.
To remove the water valve:
1. Disconnect power.
2. Place the control panel in the service position.

the hose to break the seal.
