337G Hydraulic Power Pack solenoid problem

[steven coelho]

Hi everyone!

I´m from Portugal.
Hope someone could help me. I´ve been trouble shooting a 337G landing gear. Works fine except for both solenoids getting so hot to a point that the pilot touched them and got second degree burn. They are the old sealed ones.

Electrically speaking the gear solenoid is always energised except when landing gear selector is down or when on ground (squat switch), the door solenoid is supplied all the time.

Changing solenoids will solve my problem?

I also read a post that cleaning the solenoids (new type) solved this problem


Thanks
Steven
