The coil for the valve can be bad. The valve can be stuck also. Turn off unit remove coil and put 24 volts directly on the coil tahe a small screw diver and put it hole on coil. See fit it will create a maginet effect on the screw driver. If it does the coil is ok. Most coils are 24 volts but you can look on the wiring diagram on the door of the unit and see what voltage is feeding the coil.

The funny part is I teach this stuff sometimes at a local university in KY. But I bet I was not your teacher. NKU a few times a month and research the rest. I do not actually work there for $$$ since I teach Augratis (for free). I am to old to get paid for what I do (LOL) but I do enjoy helping some young and intelligent people get better at what they want to do.. LOL.
