Easy to install, only one screw locks it in place. Wiring connections are easy, use the wiring diagram to confirm which wire controls which solenoid.

not so easy to install but worth the effort
September 10, 2019|CarterS, Pocono Summit, PA

The hardest part was finding the correct part number as original part # was replaced witha new part number that site said would NOT work in my machine, However live tech ran the whole thing down with the manufacturer and guaranteed me that the new one WOULD work and following a youtube video that wasn't an exact match for our machine but close enough to give us a good idea of the procedure needed my son and I installed the part saving an expensive service call.
