Hello all, this is my first post.

I just moved into an old house that came with a KitchenAid Energy Saver V Superba made by Hobart. When we moved in it was disconnected. I decided that before tossing it and replacing it, I would try to restore and see if it worked. I have no experience with dishwashers. First thing I did was restore the connections. When I turned the water on I discovered that a blue plastic part connected to the water inlet valve was cracked and leaking like a sieve. I don't know what this part is called but it seems like it might be an inexpensive part to find and replace. But I can't find one unless I know what the thing is called! I have included some pictures of the part in question and the unit itself.

I am hoping someone can tell me what the part is called and/or where I an find a replacement as well as any tips/advice for this sort of job.

Thanks in advance for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you!

Cheers,
John

Thanks for your response and thanks for the link. The valves I'm seeing, however, don't look like the one that's already on the unit. Any idea if they are compatible?

They are compatible . The old valves used to be a dual valve the new ones are a single valve replacement .
