Slide Creeping Out While In Motion

[Jim Nichols]

In the picture you can clearly see the nut in the center. Before replacing the solenoids try tightening that nut some. There is a tapered seat at the end of it and it is brass, so do not over tighten.

There supposedly is a 1/4" nut driver on the tip of the tank fill bolt, to be used for tightening the nut in the center of each solenoid, as Jim mentions.  Thanks for noting that, Jim;  I'd forgotten about it as a primary option.

You can also turn that nut counterclockwise not beyond 4 1/2 turns to release pressure if you should ever need to move a slide manually.

Over a month after changing the "Extend" Solenoid, the problem with my #1 slide creeping out is gone. FYI the HWH technician I spoke to said I only need to replace the solenoid causing the problem rather then just swapping both as suggested in their documentation. This saves you around $250 for the part and probably an hours labor too.

Right after I received the solenoid from HWH my pass side slide stopped moving out. Would only do it sometimes and now it has seemed to have stopped playing its game. You see it knows that I have the part so its decided that it will wait for awhile then start up again. The HWH tech on the phone said it could be a micro piece of ? causing the valve to leak bye. I've had this before in hydraulic systems on equipment.
