Those are the ones with the extra contact that activates the transition light. Those solenoids are intermediate duty solenoids and have a polyethylene guide for the contact plunger which deforms with very little heat. If the pump runs very long these low resistance solenoids heat rapidly and can deform the guide to the point the plunger rod can't travel freely. If the guide is just slightly deformed it might give you an intermittent problem. Those solenoids should be replaced with constant duty solenoids, which are much robust, make a stronger contact and because they have higher resistance,don't heat as much. You can identify the constant duty solenoids by measuring the resistance across the coil. the constant duty solenoids have 10 ohms+ and the intermediate duty ones have 3-4 ohms. The problem with the constant duty solenoids is that they don't seem to make them with the extra contact for the transition light. This is easily solved by installing a silicon rectifier.
