Fixed the Problem by John Walters (Castle Rock Co US)

The new solenoid fixed the problem. My only concern is that this is the second unit (mine and a friends) that had the same problem. Is this an inherent flaw? The support team and service were superb.

Spare parts by John Grayson (Xenia OH US)

Part seemed very good and went on easily using clear instructions provided. Only one question-- Both input and output tubes already had nuts and compression washers, yet you provided me with one more of each. Nothing in instructions mentioned anything about changing one out, or if I was to replace one which one. Therefore I replaced neither and all seems well. However, I am somewhat puzzled whenever I end up with leftover parts. Should I have replaced one or were these parts just provided as a contingency?

Works so far by Don Crawford (Alexandria VA US)

The solenoid valve was easy to install and works like a champ. The only thing I could say would be to include the 2 small mounting screws that connect the valve to the humifier housing.

solenoid installation by Steven C Rizzo (Palos Heights Il US)

Couldn't have worked out better. I installed it last night as a matter of fact. This was the best solution. I saved at least $100.00 + hassel of waiting for tech. I'm handy so I knew I could do it, just needed a boost.I told lots of people who use your product and they were amazed at the ease and service. Thanks!

Positive Review by Laurian Edan (Naperville Il US)

I ordered the Aprilaire 4040 solenoid valve from the website. It was easy to get the information I needed from the website and ordering was very easy. The part arrived approximately a week after placing the order because I did not want to pay for faster shipping. The part was exactly what was shown on the website and it was very easy to install. I recommend this website and Aprilaire part.

Easy Fix by John SanFelice (Millersville MD US)

This was a much more easy fix than I had anticipated. I struggled for months trying to figure out what was wrong with my humidifier. Then I called the help line and was told how to propery trouble shoot my system. The replacement is working fine so far and was a very easy fix. Thank goodness. It is so much better not getting shocked from static electricity and my home feels warmer and my sinues aren't all dried up. Thanks Aprilair.

inlet solenoid by steve (berea oh US)

The original part had a small filter in the inlet end that got clogged. I had no idea it was there or I would have cleaned or removed it. Once the new solinoid was installed it was good to go. 5 minute repair, 20 minute diagnostic
