Hello,
I am new here, but I suspect that only this board can help me find an answer! I am a residential owner of a Hobart WM-C1 Glasswasher. It's worked perfectly for more than 30 years. However, a bad freeze cracked the low-pressure regulator. No problem. I found another on eBay.
However, I also need a new water intake valve. And because the unit is so old, the identification number on the original water intake valve (solenoid) has worn off. I haven't a clue about trying to find a new one. Or of finding a currently-available equivalent that could be substituted.
Hobart, of course, has no information as the WM series is decades-old and long out of production or service.
1. Does anybody happen to know the ID number of the original water intake valve on a Hobart WM-C1 (or one of the other WM models)?
2. Does anybody know--or have a suggestion for--an equivalent water intake valve that might work in my old WM-C1?
If I can't find a new water intake valve, my trusty old Hobart Glasswasher is, effectively, bricked. What a pity that would be!
With many thanks in advance for any information or suggestions.
Matteo
