Gilbert, You will want to check the screens on the water valve to make sure that they are not clogged with debris which could cause the unit to not allow water to enter during the rinse since it uses a cold water rinse.

Mike, The issue with the unit getting the SH error would be with the thermistor which is located on the water channel that puts the water into the tub. The part number is 38861 but has been discontinued by the manufacturer with no suitable replacement available.

Hello Craig. There is a access plate that you remove the screw from. Then pull the valve out and replace it in the unit. These are not hard to replace.

Hi Kinnon. This valve kit comes with instructions and mount adapter plate to use if your model needs it. Try removing the wire connector out of the inner cabinet wire circle to work with it better if it is tight in the harness. Use a tie wrap to keep it tight after connection so it does not rub bare. Thank You.
