I ordered a replacement water intake valve part from you. I'm trying to install it, but it doesn't seem to be the right configuration.

I sent Crystal photos today. Hopefully, you can refer to those while reading this. The part you sent (#AP4026599) has 4 feeds + a middle, up pointing feed. On your part, all 4 feeds have the same, simple two pronged inputs. On the part I'm trying to replace, the two inputs on the right side, which hook up to hoses, are configured differently to also each accept two, thin, black wires you see in the photos. If you blow up the part picture you have on your site, the two feeds I'm referring to are on the left of the screen. In other words, while the part you sent has the required prongs on all feeds for the white plug ins, the 2 (not counting the middle input) that also connect to hoses have no means to accommodate reconnection of the black wires.

Do I have the wrong part? Is there some adapting part for this? I just tried to attach the photos - maybe too many times. If so, my apologies.

I was afraid to try to disengage the black wires because I thought they might have been welded on. I finally tried pulling them off and realized that they go into the two prongs on each of the inputs that attach to hoses and that the housing for the black wires have underprongs that allow for the dual attachment . . . now if I can just get the machine back together I should be fine . . . Thanks for your help and sorry to have bothered you.
