That’s a good question. From my experience and others, I’d say a solenoid would be more reliable. My Whirlpool (Kenmore compact washer as well) are still on their original control magnet assemblies that are still working decades later. A mode shifter works as well, but not nearly as long lasting and reliable as a simple electromagnet solenoid with a plunger.

I’m just currently thinking where on earth do I get solenoid as I’ve looked at all the ones from China, but those don’t really seem to be decent enough quality |
