I never thought that it will be that much easy. I was looking for this kind of guide and thanks to ifixit and author of this guide I have successfully did the check valve replacement. Thanks for sharing this.
1. How do you know if it’s the pressure switch that’s bad?
2. What do ya do when they say the parts are discontinued??
