47 Bendix Question for Robert
Robert, I purchased a new water valve which is for a GE washer. The picture i'm uploading shows the 4 connectors.Counting from the left as being #1 and the far right being #4 what do I have to do to convert this from a 3 wire connection to a 4 wire connection.As per your post to me on 7/24 you say that one connector to the hot and one to the cold (does it make a difference which one?)You then say to make a Y on the hot water wire and attach it to the hot and the same for the cold. I hope I got this right as i'm not great with electrical conversions. Let me know if this is correct, I don't want to be SHOCKED to find out that I did it wrong.

On a solenoid valce as this, the hot and neutral valves can go to either terminal, as long as each valve gets one of each.
If I read Rober't instructions correctly here it is re-phrased:
Take the wire that is ONE color and stick it, as directed, to the proper temperature valve.
Take the other ONE color wire and stick it on the other temperature valve.
The wire that is both colors needs to go to the two remainig terminals(one on each temperature valve). Here you will need to make a "jumper" or splice the wire into two needed connections.
If the temps are wrong later,(which they should not be), simply reverse the incoming water hoses, if that is easier than electrical work for you.
Sorry, I hope I haven't confused you!!!
I am confident you will do this to perfection!

Hi Bruce the valve you purchased should work perfectly for a replacement. The water flow might little bit too fast, if it causes a leak at the vacuum breaker where the fill stream goes into the outer tub, you can turn the pressure down at the faucets since its not a timed fill washer.
Okay left to right:
Lets make the left the cold valve and the right the hot valve.
#1 Green Wire
#2 Green/Yellow on of the Y-connection wires
#3 Yellow Wire
#4 Green/Yellow the other wire on the Y-connection.
Be sure to hook the cold water hose to the left valve and vice-versa.
Be advised that with this modern valve you are going to have either or hot or cold wash (hot dial selects hot and warm dial selects cold) and a cold rinse.

Robert thanks for the help, I will try and do it the way you said. I'm pressed for time today as i'm leaving for Las Vegas tonight and i'm trying to pack. I will return in a week and let you know how it turns out. Again thanks.

Kewl! When I get back from vacation I'll have to try this with my '47 and see what happens...but I'll probably have to replace the neutral line anyway though!
Good luck!
