Removing the tub if stuck | I had to do this. Just keep jacking until it comes out. |

Old Valve
The red relay wires were not long enough so I had to extend them.
After replacing the valve, I noticed that the water through the detergent valve ran much faster. Must have been the issue.
Testing the resistance of the valves showed about 1.3kΩ.
