Well, Today I installed the New Fill Solenoid Valve. When I turned the water on, The Hot Water trickles out of the Fill Flume with no electricity. I turn on the electricity and it fills (Hot). I turn the Temp. Switch to Warm and I do not get Cold Water for the Mix. And the Valve is Leaking where the Electrical Unit that operates the Valves is seated. So I think the first thing to address is Why is the Valve Leaking ? And Second, Why am I not getting Cold Water ? I now turn to the Unimatic Professors for HELP !!! I titled this Unimatic Massachusetts because We got alot of Unimatics on the Board Lately LOL !!! | ||

Thanks Eddie! But luck isn't everything. My restoration wouldn't be possible without the precious help I've found here. I can see Unilever's profit will increase a lot. Soon many people will know why. | ||

You can really use any valve Eddie, but you will need to slow the flow rate down otherwise it will overfill. To slow the rate of fill down use an adjustable ball valve (shown below and available at Ace Hardware or Home Depot), you place the valve on the fill flume hose running up the back of the machine and adjust the lever to get the proper fill level. As all new standard valves are hot/cold valves if you use a standard valve you will get Hot water on the hot setting or Cold water on the warm setting. You might want to check with Larry at Modern Parts, he might have some old nylon hot/warm valves which stand up to age better than those early brass valves.
