Water Fill Value Problem (PT-40)

[Kevin Ford]

I found the valve and removed the diaphram and cleaned it up as Curt
described, but still no affect. I did check the voltage from the
outside switch -- it is good. I need some value 101. It appears that
the voltage is applied to fill the tank, but I don't understand how
this valve directs the water flow, and with no voltage (switch in off
position) what should happen? And any other ideas?

Again thanks.
