New valve has extra port,not sure what to pipe to the extra port,steamer will not fill with water,water just runs out of new valve down drain.steamer model 24cem24 parker valve no.22244
Re: new solenoid drain valve for cleveland steamer
The correct cleveland part # for your valve is 22221. If you have the correct valve there should be no extra ports. The steamer will flush itself when you turn it on, and periodically if there is the optional blow down timer installed. Hope this helps

The solenoid valve is under the machine. It will be a block of metal installed with fittings into the water pipe and it has a plastic cylinder attached to it. The cylinder will have two wire terminals on the end opposite the valve block and is typically about 3/4" dia. x 1 1/2" long.
Fyi. All new washing maching already tested on their functionality and features but not test run with water intake and drain function. I would like to share My experience last time with this model. The water outlet valve will release by motor when you set to drain mode.it suppose manage to retract back by spring when drain process finish or afte small you change to wash mode. Take a look on the spring movement.normally it not properly hold valve switch hence the retracted spring not block the valve to stop water drain. Just rectify the alignment of the valve swich which directly connected to the retractable spring.
You have two water solenoid valves, one hot water and one
for cold. If you switch the hot and cold water hose connections the washer may
fill. If it does, the solenoid valve is defective, and you will need to order a
new one and replace it. If you take off the back panel of the washer you can
follow the hose to the solenoid which has wires connected to it.Did you stick a bucket under the water faucet
to make sure water is actually coming out of the faucet when you turn it on?
There are two possible options to solve this.
1. Check clogged filters on water ingress pipe. You should have two, one on either end if using factory pipe.
2. Alternatively the water solenoid valve is faulty and needs replacement. Check signal on solenoid valve and try testing the solenoid valve on its own by applying a voltage at its terminals to see whether it opens before you replace it.
it's being sucked out by siphoning through your sewer pipe .Probably a siphon problem . Check your drain hose to make sure hose is not stuffed too far down drain and air can get between the hose and the drain pipe . If you have tapped the hose to the drain to keep water from coming out the drain pipe , go to home depot or an appliance parts house , and get a siphon break . When a washer fills , but water level doesn't rise in the machine ,
Check for hose kinks or food plugging drain hose. Start at the drain port exit
Check the check valve and drain hose for debris.
Check pump motor for reversing during the pump out make sure the dishwasher is pausing between the wash and drain cycles letting the pump/motor reverse for the drain cycle.
Check timer for not letting the dishwasher pause. ( not all dishwashers )
Check pump motor assembly for a drain solenoid, during the pump out make sure the solenoid makes that distinctive "clunk" noise
Check pump impeller for damage.
Check that the water inlet valve isn't seeping fresh water into the dishwasher when off.

ocate your dishwasher's water inlet valve. It should be located behind the lower kickplate panel in either the right or left corner. There will likely be two screws either on the top of the panel, or on its bottom. Remove these two screws, and then remove the kickplate. On some dishwasher models, the door has to be opened in order to gain access to, and remove the kickplate's screws. Close the door before you remove the kickplate panel.
You will be able to identify the water inlet valve by the hoses that connect to it. There will be one hose feeding water from the house to the water valve, and another hose leading from the water valve that carries water away. Now is a good time to inspect your dishwasher's hoses, to make sure they aren't responsible for any water flow problems. Make sure the hoses are securely connected to the valve. Also check to make sure there are not kinks in the hoses. Kinks can impede the flow of water.
There will be two wires connected to the water inlet valve. If your dishwasher's water inlet valve has two solenoids, then there will be four wires. Label the wires so that you will be able to correctly reconnect them later. The wires are connected using slip-on connectors. Grasp the connectors and pull on them firmly in order to disconnect the wires from the valve's terminals. Do not pull on the wires themselves. You may want to use a pair of needle nosed pliers to help you.
Use your multitester to test the valve for continuity. Set the device to the ohms setting x 1. Touch each of the meter's probes to a terminal. If you receive a reading of infinity, it means the valve's solenoid is faulty and the valve needs to be replaced. If your valve has two solenoids (four terminals), test the second pair of terminals in the same manner. If either pair of terminals receives a result of infinity, replace the water inlet valve.
There is no drain valve.
Pull the drain hose up out of the drain pipe until there is only about 6" inside the pipe. Make sure there is a gap around the hose where it goes into the pipe so air can get in.
Make sure the drain pipe is higher than the water level in the tub.
