SOLENOID VALVE (COLD WATER
OPTIONAL)(FMD-2 ONLY)
6. Check the solenoid valve for coil action. Connect the
dispenser to the power source. With the cold jumper
plug installed press the left dispense switch and
listen carefully in the vicinity of the solenoid valve
for a “clicking” sound as the magnet attracts.
7. Disconnect the dispenser from the power source.
If the sound is heard as described and water will not pass
through the solenoid valve, there may be a blockage in
the water line before the solenoid valve or, the solenoid
valve may require inspection for wear, and removal of
waterborne particles.
If the sound is not heard as described, replace the
solenoid valve.
Removal and Replacement:
1. Loosen the two screws securing the component
bracket to the dispenser base. Lift the component
bracket off of the base and move to the right.
2. Remove the white and blue from the solenoid
valve.
3. Turn-off the water supply to the dispenser.
4. Disconnect the water lines to and from the solenoid
valve.
5. Loosen the two #8-32 screws and washers securing
the solenoid mounting bracket to the base. Remove
solenoid bracket and solenoid valve as an assem-
bly.
6. Remove the two #10-32 screws and lockwashers se-
curing the solenoid valve to the solenoid bracket.
7. Using two #10-32 screws and lockwashers install new
solenoid valve on solenoid mounting bracket.
8. Install the solenoid valve and bracket on the dispenser
base and tighten the two #8-32 screws.
9. Securely fasten the water lines to and from the
solenoid valve.
10. Refer to Fig. 35 when reconnecting the wires.

FIG. 34 COLD WATER SOLENOID VALVE
P1666
Location:
The cold water solenoid valve is located on the
left side of the dispenser base just behind the compo-
nent bracket.
Test Procedures:
1. Disconnect the dispenser from the power
source.
2. Disconnect the white and blue wires from the
solenoid valve. With the cold jumper plug installed
press the left dispense switch on front of the
door.
3. Check the voltage across the white and blue wires
with a voltmeter. Connect the dispenser to the
power source. The indication must be:
a) 120 volts ac for two wire 120 volt models,
b) 120 volts ac for three wire 120/208 volt or
120/240 volt models,
c) 230 volts ac for two wire 230 volt models, after
a delay of approximately 5 seconds.
4. Disconnect the dispenser from the power
source.
If voltage is present as described, proceed to #5
If voltage is not present as described, refer to wiring
diagram and check dispenser wiring harness.
5. Check for continuity across the solenoid valve coil
terminals.
If continuity is present as described, reconnect the
white and blue wires to the solenoid.
If continuity is not present as described, replace the
solenoid valve.
