Water Valves (2)
NOTE: Water valves have been upgraded several times since 1st 1/4 of 1999. All
valves with upgraded solenoids have yellow solenoid stems. All old valves have white
solenoid stems.
The newest valve (part # 189533) has the solenoid mounted horizontally and the
water fitting held in place by the metal mounting bracket. This is the only replacement
valve available and it replaces all other valves.
The previous valve (part # 580009) had the solenoid mounted vertically, a yellow
solenoid stem and a fine brown mesh filter screen. Use # 189533 horizontal valve
whenever it needs to be replaced.
The oldest valve, used March, 1999 and earlier (part # 167081), had the solenoid
mounted vertically, a white solenoid stem and a white mesh filter screen. Use #
189533 horizontal valve whenever it needs to be replaced.

HINTS:
580009
When reconnecting the water supply to the
water valve, don't overtighten the fitting.
On valves with vertical solenoids, the
plastic can crack and cause leaking if
excessive force is used.
Using Teflon tape on water fittings can help
prevent leaking.
The water valve can be accessed without
removing outer door or base cover.
However, removing them will provide easier
access.
