Inlet valve connector problem – AEG Lavamat 16810

After replacing the triple inlet valve, I’m having trouble fitting the inlet valve connector which I removed from the old valve – the tabs at the end aren’t properly engaging. Is there a knack? Or should I buy a new connector?

Thanks

1 make sure its correct valve.
just to make it difficult there are 29 machines with the same model. done a random search on a few and valve part no comes up as
124 94 72-11 / 7
have not searched them all so may be another valve

2 look at connector. these connectors have little lugs to make sure you are in the correct place. check you have not swopped 2 by accident and if not look at the lugs and see if 1 or more is stopping it going in

Thanks for your reply. I just had another look at it, and after refitting it several times I managed to get it screwed on without leaking. Not sure what the knack is, just trial-and-error!
