Description

This solenoid is an electromechanical actuator used to control a valve or latch assembly, restoring on/off movement when the component no longer responds. It provides a direct replacement to restore proper mechanical action. What it does:

• Converts electrical signal into linear motion to open or close a valve, latch, or dispenser mechanism
• Commonly fails when the appliance won't actuate a valve or release a latch
• Symptoms include no response, intermittent operation, humming or clicking without movement
• Replacing the solenoid often resolves failed actuation or stuck mechanisms

What's included:

• One solenoid

Install notes:

• Disconnect power (and water supply if applicable) before starting work
• Handle electrical terminals and connectors carefully; avoid bending pins
