My Dishwasher Conundrum

[Magyar Kiwi]

Hi
Two comments:
1/ Looks like a very simple valve, have you checked that the solenoid that operates it is working correctly; correct resistance, correct current draw and operating force ?
2/ Hobart part 00-329241 Drain Valve Body, seems to be in stock in Canada
See link below:

Maybe try to hook up a cable to the valve and just open and close it manually.

I just looked that baby up on the google. The cost of the part alone is obscene. If the hobart dealer had had a new part in stock, your repair bill would have been double.

I had a post about 3D printing but somehow it didn't post. But the Canada thing is obviously the easier answer.

I think I should order that part!

Yeah, I’m ordering that part.

Hopefully they'll ship to the USA...keep us posted.
