Resolved Autofill did not auto shutoff!

HMM... Neemer, were you able to buy only the electrical wound solenoid part, or were you required to buy the valve assembly? The hair like wire making contact on the winding is easily broken.

I looked at repair kits, but they were nearly as costly as a new complete unit.

My valve would move internally, but it wouldn’t completely shut off the water flow. I don’t know what the issue was to be honest. It could have been the coil, or maybe the diaphragm.

At any rate, the new unit was installed this morning and all is working as it should.

I checked with @Chuggs for any ideas and he told me his 2016 doesn't have autofill. Not sure how long and which coaches have this. Maybe we're learning how long to expect these valves to work. I'm still curious how I'm going to get in to change it out, it sure would be easier with the board off. It's not a necessity and I can rotate the red piece at the top which I assume is turning the valve so as long as I can close it that's good enough. We'll see when the new one comes Wednesday and then call it done for this trip!

my 2015 Ventana doesn't have that luxury either...sometimes old is easier

My Ventana does have it…so maybe it started at that level in 2017. I know many of these features trickle down from the higher end models…so who knows when they started putting this feature on their units.
