One point docked: the description matches perfectly so everything as expected. However, missed opportunity for better experience. There is a plastic part that connects, screws on to the top of this 3 way solenoid. Due to the age etc when replacing this component it was brittle and broke. This piece is not available as seperate and only when bought (elsewhere) as a complete valve assy (both valves as a pre assembled set).
Being an industrious type I made my own custom brass compression fitting. But the average user including the plastic fitting would be nice.
Review:
Worked perfectly. Using ohm meter there was innate resistance across the 3way solenoid. While the other showed around 500ohms. This new one had the same. Once replaced machine working perfectly again.
Symptoms prior to replacement: shots would not ramp, steam would not function and if it did then it would no longer pull shots. Excess Water dumped into drip tray. All the flushing and descaling did not solve this issue. Ohm meter confirmed solenoid was shot.
Shipping etc was prompt. Cheers.
