Thanks! I can still hear the solenoid “clunk” when activated, if that makes a difference. | ||

Whirlpool sudden saver valve problems
It’s not a bad solenoid,
This is just a simple valve you can test to see where the rubber is ceiling properly by blowing into the close port nowhere should go through, and then activate the solenoid completely with your hand and try blowing in the other port You should be able to see why it’s not sealing I’m assuming the valve you have is new enough to be plastic the old aluminum valves used to corrode away and do this all the time but the plastic one should be fine. Close-up pictures we might be able to tell you what’s wrong. The rubber valve diaphragm may start to seal better after it sits for a while have you done a hot wash yet gotten some good hot water through with that Weibel can start working. John L | ||

There is this one on Ebay. One could make an offer.
To think YEARS AGO when I was refurb-ing I would usually rip the sudsvalves out and throw them into recycling. CLICK HERE TO GO TO bradfordwhite's LINK on eBay

Depending on what the rubber insert is like one could get a generic piece of rubber, trace the gasket, cut out, and install.
Good luck. CLICK HERE TO GO TO bradfordwhite's LINK

At the very least get a spin drier.
At 3200 RPM this really removes most all the water in a matter of minutes. CLICK HERE TO GO TO bradfordwhite's LINK
