Take a look at the parts breakdown in my earlier psot.
Wash/drain solenoid is Item 497 in Section 3
You will have to find out where it is leaking
A flashlight and small mirror can be a big help here.
You may have a plug and the pressure has blown a fitting or hose.
A common spot for a plug is where the drain hose connects to the house plumbing. |

You now have to find out why the solenoid is not working.
Remove the wires from it and check it with a meter for continuity.
If it is open (infinite ohms) it needs replacing.
If it has continuity, you have to set your meter on volts, run it through a cycle. If it does not get 120 volts when it should start draining your timer is probably bad.
Another possibility is the wire from the timer to the solenoid is broken. |

Yes you will need a new solenoid.
There is one other thing you should check.
Check that the timer only sends [power to the solenoid for 10 seconds or so when it is supposed to start draining.
One cause of the solenoids overheating is the timer contacts sticking closed, this puts power to it for too long and the solenoid overheats and eventually fails. |
