We have found that solenoid -related failures are usually not irrepairable. We had a solenoid that failed to actuate regardless of input, manual or electrical. I entirely disassembled it and found some metal debris jammed in the mechanical slider valve. This could be caused by a number of reasons, all pointing to someone's negligence. I cleaned the valve with a paper towel, and put it back together. Presto! it worked just fine again. We also had to replace a damaged o-ring inside the slider a different solenoid, which we have a little box of assorted little o-rings. they are a pretty standard size, I think, and these are much better solutions than $60 buying a whole new one! Just be sure to tighten every screw well when reassembling.
