I had a problem with my well, and sucked sand into everything downstream. I've got everything pretty much cleaned out, but my washer has a trickle of water entering constantly, even when not in use. Spending most of my life running car washes, I don't doubt the fill solenoids are full of sand. Before I jump into this thing, I'm wondering if the valve is serviceable. I found pictures of the valve online and don't see any screws holding it together, but only see it from one angle. Google searching isn't much help, only telling me how to replace it, which I don't mind doing, but I don't have one nearby. Does anyone know if I can open it up and clean it out?

Model# - GFW550SSN2WW
Valve part# - WH23X29538

No, it's not worth the risk of flooding your house - they are sealed and only possible place to do any clean out is carefully removing screen and trying to flush and debris out.  A lot of wasted time
