I am getting soap in the rinse in 1 bay. I have a 4 bay super saver. I'm reasonably certain that I need to replace a check valve but I don't know where to look for the thing. Anybody know where it is?
Thanks

Jimmy,

I am having trouble visualizing a setup where a check valve actually would be the controlling factor for the soap itself. I would say it is much more likely a solenoid in line with the tubing coming from your source of your initial soap.

Ok I know where that solenoid is I think. Thats just the little gc solenoid manifold that says "soap", right? I ordered a plunger and coil.
Thanks

Jimmy check the solenoid for dirt (can be very small) that would be holding it open. Be careful when you dismantle it because some have more than one spring in it.

If the valve is really old make sure you check the seat of the valve if it's brass unless you replace the whole valve!
