2009 Solenoid won't fire

I've been trying to set up a 2009 Festo solenoid, and it hasn't been firing. The manual fire switch works perfectly, and the LED is switching to orange when it should go into the extended state, and switching off when it should be in the retracted position (I'm assuming that that's how it should work). However, it still doesn't fire, even when the LED switches.

Is this a known problem, or am I working with a defective solenoid?
