      Returning guest presenter Aaron Wilson is back for another exciting discussion. This time, we'll be talking about...
      The Science of CYA: How to Keep the Customer Safe, Document Your Work, and Not Get Sued
      We take on a lot of liability as appliance repair techs, and that can get us into sticky situations whether we've done anything wrong or not. Aaron will be teaching us all about how to navigate this side of the trade.
      We'll start by going over a tragic, real-world case study where a sloppy installation had lethal results, analyzing exactly how the installer's negligence caused this. From there, our scope will expand to what kind of safety precautions we should implement in our own work, both for the customer's sake and for our own.
      But even if you do everything perfectly, there's still the famous "technician witch hunt." Well, we'll also talk about how to deal with that by thoroughly documenting your work and putting yourself beyond legal reproach.
      A little about our guest, Aaron Wilson:
      Aaron has been in the appliance repair trade for about 15 years, starting out by doing installations before moving on to bigger and better things. He worked for C&W Services as a Sub-Zero authorized servicer for a time and thereafter joined Mr. Appliance of Highland Park in the Dallas area, where he worked for years as the lead technician and field service manager. These days, he's making sure that all the appliances of everyone's favorite fried chicken place are in tip-top shape as the Quality and Performance Consultant for the southwest branch of Chick-fil-A. In addition, he has taught many classes on refrigeration repair and advanced diagnostics, during which time he also developed training material for the soft skills side of things, which he is delighted to share with you. On top of all that he's a certified graduate of the Master Samurai Tech Academy, so he knows his stuff!

I broke this part while cleaning my machines.

I have the new part coming but won't be here till next wed (jan 3).  It's part of the pre-wash supply line.

Need to figure out how can I run the washer with out this part.  I think I can just block off the line from the solenoid valve or even just unplug the electrical connector to that solenoid.

TIA

The picture you posted l, to me, does not match the Amazon link picture. 

Is the actual item a solenoid? From what I can see it looks like it's a connection that brings three hoses together that perhaps have different diameters?  I couldn't find that part on Sears Parts Central website.

Actually I do see that part when I search for that part number but the picture still doesn't look like yours to me.

sorry about that.  I didn't take have a good pic a the time of posting.  The amazon part threads into this part...

I ended up plugging the pre-wash solenoid and unplugging the electrical to it.  Running a cycle now and seems to be doing okay.
