Re: DOLOMITE WASHER SOLINOID
It's not a solenoid, just a common or garden 12v electric motor attached to a small plastic pump. Many bits of the assembly CAN fail, but basically, if you have 12v going into the pump when someone presses the button for you, then it's time for a new pump assembly. They aren't hard to get, my factors carry them.
Unless you have a totally original early series 1 Sprint with the useless original and NLS pump, in which case, good luck!
