Technical Support / Re: Asco Red-Hat Diverter Value Issues

Our coach has an Aladdin system but it has not automatically shut off the water fill when full since we purchased the coach in August 2012.  Perhaps when new, it did; I don't know.  Interestingly, our coach has two water-fill switches - one in the water bay and another just under the kitchen sink countertop.  But the kitchen sink water-fill switch has not worked to open or close the Red Hat - now US Solid - water fill valve.  I suspect the two switches are joined to a latching relay which allows both switches to operate the water fill valve independently.  Somewhere on the Forum I read that the kitchen sink switch was likely disabled because when in the coach it's impossible to know when the tank is full, and it will run over making a lake until a neighbor RVer sees it.  I have never found where, if it exists, that latching relay might be located.

Our coach has four water pump switches (kitchen, loo, lavatory, and water bay) that all work independently through a latching relay.  Where it's located is also a mystery... but the four switches all work properly.

I believe the auto shutoff is a function of the Aladdin tank level module, also controls asco valve

JC refrigeration has several options you could replace your cooling unit with  an absorption unit or go 12 volts or 120 volts units each have their pros and cons.
It's my opinion it's had to be at the absorption units for boondocking

The RM 7832 has been noted a reliable unit which will produce very good results but as with all absorption fridges they benefit from good airflow

Quick update, I went ahead and ordered the Dinosaur Electronics P-711 board, mine was less than optimal with tons of corrosion on it. And I called JC's. they are actually in Sarasota FL this week and next doing winter installs for folks, So I am scheduled to run over there on the 11th and get them to replace the boiler / cooling unit out as a "factory install".  I sorted the wires out from the ice-maker / water valve, so fingers crossed this will be the right solution in leu of replacing everything, it was certainly the more affordable solution.

Thanks David,

I've ordered the 3 wire.  My coach has the auto shut off when full and the asco valve is 3 wire.  I'll let you know how it works.

It sounds like a solid solution.  Nice to find one at 15% of what I am seeing the Asco valve go for.

This is the valve I purchased.  It does have three wires but I used only two.  The other wire I bent back and taped off.  I do not know the function of the third wire.  My guess is it may be for an automatic closure when the fresh water tank is filled but our coach never had that function as long as we have owned it.

I like this ball valve because it can be heard when opening and closing, so I know it's doing its job when I press the switch to open and close it.

Rick
As Fred explained to access all the mechanisms you will have to remove the inside door handle and access panels
Start by removing the four screws You've shown with the red arrows that hold the door latch reinforcement bracket in place
Leave the latch in place remove that bracket and you should have access to the latch , bell crank and the rod end your looking for
I think once you have access you will see the relationship between your door mechanism and the ones pictured at the end of the PTL door document.
Usually that rod will pop off only if the outer door handle is pulled out too far over extending the and popping the rod out of the hole in the bell crank lever
Read the PTL document to see how to adjust that rod properly to a void it popping off again
If the clip is broken you can usually get one at a good automotive parts retailer as Fred said they were used years ago on carburetor linkages.

You may find the rod has just popped out of the clip allowing it to fall out of the bell crank lever or the clip has popped off or broken if this is the case use  a magnet reach into the bottom of the door cavity to see if you can find the missing rod clip.

Hope this helps
