Are you sure it's the valve? It could be the cable/rod that goes to the valve. I had the same problem with mine. I took it to a RV place out west where we were at the time. They told me it was the valve but by the time the parts would get there we would be on our way home. I used an end of line valve to dump with. When we got home I took it to my RV dealer and it was the cables for both the black water & the bathroom gray water that were bad ?going bad. They replaced both and they are working good now. I did have to pay for the valves that the cables came on and have them as spares.I was told that the outside sheath of the cables cracked and the cable was stuck inside the sheath. Just another thing to think about.
