hi chappell,

i believe it is the same one that controls the air slide for my bay fridge/freezer. i think that is the grainger part number below. of course the solenoid coils come off your old one and go on the new one.

i replaced the one on my freezer because it was leaking out the exhaust port. that was not the issue.

i will tell you my experience and you can see if it matches at all.

i was leaking air out the exhaust port. and the slide operated funky. sometimes it would leak out one port, sometimes the other port. btw, those little stubs on the ports with the holes in them are exhaust mufflers.

so...smart me thought....it has to be the valve. so i spent 100 bucks and replaced it. NO difference. i was shotgunning now. so i replaced the mufflers. no difference.

it ended up that the o ring seals in the cylinder (ram for the slide) had lost their seal and air was leaking by them causing a weak slide AND air leaking by out the exhaust port. since it leaked out both ways depending on if the slide was in or out, it should have been obvious that was it.

i bought a ram seal kit for 15 bucks from smi, took the ram apart and rebuilt it and walla, the leaking stopped.

you can also buy a rebuild kit for the cylinder that controls the dump. they are not very expensive. from dupree.

i would try that before you start replacing the valve.

but....that is just my experience. yours could be different.
