It may be your solenoid valve you can check it if you have a multi meter, you should have a reading of at least 3.5 ohms, across the two terminals any less and you need a new valve.


If there is power getting to the solenoid and it is not operating then there is a good chance that you have a faulty solenoid.

The other possibility is a faulty "Solenoid PCB" the usual fault but not always,  is no continuity on the neutral from the solenoid to the opposite side of the board

It is best to replace both of these at the same time New Team do a kit that replaces both parts.

Fitting the PCB and solenoid is not particularly difficult the only difficult bit is you have to replace a micro switch which is the centre switch in a row of three, they are operated by rocker type levers and a cam the fiddly bit is to make sure that the spring on the centre rocker is in the correct position and that the other levers all line up correctly

 

Take some photos before you start
