TESTING SOLENOID VALVE
(Direct water feed units only)
See Solenoid Valve under “Component Description & Function” before proceeding.
To test the solenoid valve coil: Disconnect wires to isolate solenoid
valve coil. Verify 8-20 ohms.
Replace if fails test.
To determine if solenoid valve is leaking through: Turn power off &
disconnect water line from rear.
Dry up any water that is present on the generator surface.
Once dry, reconnect the water line ONLY.
Does water begin to slowly flow onto the generator surface? If yes,
disassemble & clean out solenoid valve plunger.
If still leaks, replace solenoid valve.
To Clean: Remove top nut then slide coil assembly off.
Secure the valve body with channel locks.
If the valve stem is slotted at the top, loosen & remove the stem with a
sturdy screw driver. If it is not slotted, you will need the special hex nut
with locking pins.
Remove the plunger, spring, o’ring.
With a cloth, gently clean out the plunger & body area. Generally, the
debris/speck found will be small.
Reassemble items & recheck.
Replace if still leaks.
