What do I do if my solenoid does not seal?

Solenoids can often get gummed up from oils and debris. They are meant to be taken apart and serviced. Over time the seals and spring on the piston and spring (poppet) assembly can wear and may need to be replaced.

Cleaning Solenoid Internals

In order to clean the, it must be dissambled. This is done by:

1. Removing the vent
2. Unscrewing the body
3. Removing the piston and spring assembly

Replacing the Piston and Spring

Once disassembled, the piston and spring assembly (poppet) can be removed and replaced.
