2014 IH45 Electric Tank Dump Valve

On day two of a long trip.  This morning when I went to dump I hit the switch to open the valve and water started flowing.  In the past when you hit the switch you could hear a noise for a short time and then stop.  Closing was the same way.  Today the noise did not stop until I let off the switch, Same with shutting the valve.  Does anyone have an idea as to what I have so I will have a better idea when I dig in.  It sounds like a keyway has fallen out or broken.

I  finally got the front cover loose enough in order to get some pictures.  Here are pictures of the valves.  Now to get a new valve and get it installed.

Call the number on the valve and tell them what is happening. They have great customer service.
