After about 18 months, mine failed in closed position.
In Response To: Is it possible for the solenoid to fail ()
On my Alberg 35 "Invincible Summer" the solenoid began leaking by. With the valve closed, gas continued to flow to burners until I closed the tank valve. Xintex replaced it for free. Interesting note: The solenoids that Xintex was using in the '90s and maybe beyond were labeled as "gasoline valves" for automotive use only.
