Where can i purchase a water actuator valve for this honeywell HE220a Unit. The valve wont open I need a relplacement valve Honeywell wants 66.00 plus 10.00 to ship plus tax. This is a 10.00 dollar valve ! ANy ideas ??
Its a KIP Valve 3703 U147112-24/60
The screw does turn and will open the valve, take the hex nut off and turn the screw to see if water leaks between the valve portion and the hexnut housing. They used that same valve on many models, including the newer models. Make sure you are getting water to the valve.
Hello I had the same pbm, I could not find it anywhere other than ordering it through the net. You will find info & picture at http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&q=Solenoid++valve&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=X&oi=image_result_group&resnum=4&ct=title
For a humidifier issue, you do not need the same exact original part, it is best of course but another brand will work.
My problem was the input water pressure (someone apparently changed it). I did, however, remove the unit and clean the filter which was pretty gunked up and that, along with adjusting the water pressure going into the solenoid, appears to have solved the problem.
Thanks to all who responded.

I've got a Honeywell HE260 with the same Kip, Inc. solenoid and it seems to have quit working this year after ~10 years. Anyone have an exploded diagram to share? Filter changable inside? There's a hex nut (which turns) covering a swrew (which doesn't).
should there be a steady stream of water or just drips
