CAUSE: Solenoid plunger is not sealing 3/16” port at top of plunger tube.
  • Page 12 Troubleshooting PROBLEM: Valve will not open. CAUSE #1: Solenoid coil is not energized. Place your fingers around the solenoid coil. If the coil is receiving power, you will feel a vibration. If not, problem is due to one of the following: 1) No output from controller, 2) broken or disconnected wire, or 3) bad solenoid coil.
  • Page 13 Troubleshooting PROBLEM: Valve will not open. CAUSE #2: Mineral buildup on solenoid plunger or corrosion in plunger tube is preventing plunger from lifting when solenoid is energized. SOLUTION: Replace solenoid stem and plunger assembly.
