The new solenoid/breaker is just over 2 years old and it has already failed ! The old one may not have lasted much longer considering how little use the head was getting before we bought Senta II. I opened up the old one after the new one started leaking too and I'm confused why it failed partially open, like the new one. I see nothing wrong with the little membrane and the solenoid spring seems strong enough. I tested it with a 9-volt battery and it clicked just fine. There was no visible debris that would have kept it from closing, at least not that I saw.
Other than going ahead with a Vacuflush installation which will have to wait, are there any alternatives to ordering yet another solenoid/breaker ? Is it even worth spending an afternoon cleaning and o-ring-greasing the membrane and seal to see if that fixes it ? What is the most likely failure mode ?
Frustrating as we have other installations that need attention right now
Thanks,
