Product review (1 stars): Defective Female Connector on Side of Valve
I just installed the valve on a good used Frigidaire washing machine. When I test-connected the small female connector on the side of the valve with the 2-wire male connector on the washing machine, the whole female connector that is attached to the valve pulled out when I gently tugged on it to make sure the connection was secure. I noticed a small exposed diode soldered to the back side of the female connector. Thank goodness I had the old defective valve with me. I examined it and noticed the female connector could be taken out. It easily came out. It was completely encased in plastic...no exposed electronic components (i.e. diode). I pushed it into the side of the new valve hoping it would work...and it did. I'm convinced I received a refurbished valve from Amazon. I could have gotten it cheaper from another seller, but I like doing business with products advertised with Amazon Prime. First time I've ever had any problem with them...I've been a prime member for many years. I wish they had a phone number I could call to explain my frustration. Exchange or refund is no option for me due to the fact of time and effort to take the valve back out since it seems to be working fine.
 I won't be buying much else from them and will probably let my prime membership go after this year....very disappointing!
