Are the Ladies Still Blushing?

*grins* Just checking on Dick and his blushing ladies. Colder than a well-digger's butt outside! So I'm attempting to kill bordom by hanging around up here, as I am taking a break from writing second edition of my book.--Laundry Shark
 
Well now that you ask....

I have been having a nagging problem with the 57 in that water dribbles into the tub and in NO WAY am I getting even close to 5 temperatures. I didn't want to bother the club with it and thought I could take care of it on my own but I'm still having problems and being that you asked, I'll shoot it out there.

I started out with a thermostatic three solenoid valve a friend had from an old 50s Kenmore. It only worked on one setting and the water wouldn't shut off when I pulled out on the timer. I was ready to rebuild it but was told that the solenoids are no longer available so on to a new plan.

I bought a 3 solenoid Horton valve CO2086-4 N3042 10W, well in fact I finally ended up buying two thinking that the first one was faulty. It is a non thermostatic valve but I was told that they were interchangeable with the thermostatic. Well after much time spent checking hoses, switching to new faucets, etc. I still had the same problem. I even went on line to Horton but couldn't find any useful info. Just today I discovered the flow washers and took them out leaving the four hole brass rings in. I do have more flow-now thinking of taking out the brass rings and see if I get even more flow. I've got hot and when I turn to med or any other setting-all water entering the tub is basically cold. I'm scratching my head. Don't know where to go from here-maybe try taking the brass ring out of the hot side inlet and see if that will give added hot water pressure to mix with the cold. I'm sure I have got the wires connected properly as I get a fluctuation in water pressure with moving the selector thru all 5 settings.

Other than that I have no other issues with either the washer or the dryer.

BTW LK, what about me putting the Windows movies of my 56-57-58 on a CD and sending them to you?
