Dump Valve Rebuild?

[Bob & Carol Howald`]

I have the electric Microphor toliet on my 93, (They use the
electric model if the holding tank is directly under the stool) I
have the onboard aux. compressor which is used for opening the waste
valves (usually along with the help of the DUPREE VALVE TOOL , this
is something you can't be without. Also something to keep in mind is
that the drier valve on the clothes drier needs air to open. The red
light being on when it's in the open position is indicating only the
POSITION OF THE SWITCH. If you notice your clothes taking forever to
dry, visually check the position of the drier valve and see if it's
in the OPEN position with the red light on...This is how it work's on
my 93pt-40, your's might be different! Bob 93pt40
