[QUOTE="Nicopod, post: 526326, member: 33568"] Hello Our Ikea Valgjord dishwasher has now stopped taking water softener salt. I opened the cover and found a solenoid valve at the base of the water softener unit. I assumed this solenoid is controlling the water passing through the slat compartment. This part might be faulty. I am not sure how can test this solenoid. No information is printed on it. - unknow voltage (12v 24v???), - 2 red cables (unknown polarity) I have removed it, took my multimeter, -checked for continuity, result: no beep from the multimeter - checked for resistance, result: 3.7kOhm on the multimeter Your assistance is required. Can you tell me how to test this solenoid? [/QUOTE]
