I have no idea, but I'm bumping this for you...

Sounds like something my dh would try. With the help of a parts catalog...

In the US, I'd look at McMaster-Carr's catalog first. McMaster list 10 pages of solenoid valves. Dunno if they'd ship to oz, but there has to be somebody filling the same market there, and your valve is probably expecting 240V at 50Hz, not 120 at 60 Hz.

Some other general advice: make sure you get one suitable for use with steam. Second, it's unlikely you'll find an exact fit replacement, so depending on how the plumbing is set up, you might have to make some adjustments.
