My second Orbit valve on the same system in 2 or 3 years. They sent me a solenoid for free but it didn’t fix the problem. I replaced the valve with a Rain Bird valve and the system now performs better than ever.
Thank you for sharing your review about a replacement solenoid not fixing the issue with your valve and how it was replaced entirely. Our Customer Care team is happy to help with any issues that are still being encountered with our products, or to give any further assistance that may be needed in the future.

They buzz. None of my other solenoids buzz The others have about half the coil resistance so maybe these save a little energy? The buzz suggest to me that they have a small operation margine versus others tha just click.
Thanks for taking the time to share your review about our Solenoids buzzing. The buzzing sound is normal and caused by the magnets inside the solenoid being activated and vibrating. Some solenoids can be louder than others, though there shouldn't be any issues as long as the valve is functioning correctly.

I ordered this because I had bought one from Amazon and the ohms were too high.
Readings of 65 to 68.
I called orbit and told them this and told them this valve was made in South Korea.
He said that is too high and if you purchase from the Orbit site they are made in the U.S.
I checked the ohms on the both solenoids and the were both 61 ohms.
It should be between 20 and 60.
These solenoids are no better than whatI received from Amazon.

Sileniods didn't function properly. Wrong replacements were sent. Not impressed at all
The solenoid doesn't fit my Orbit valve and (according to the website) I can't return it for a refund. I'd have preferred to return it and exchanged it for a complete valve.
just what I hoped to receive, did the trick on the repair. Just wish it hadn't taken 10 days for shipping.
Perfect replacement
Installed replacement solenoid at it seems to be working as expected and so far has fixed the issue with the sprinkler valve no firing automarically
