You should be able to hear the solenoid click when power is applied. If not, either it has failed, is stuck, or the connections need cleaning up. In my case, I once had it stick closed due to an accumulation of a waxy goo which became quite viscous when cold. I assume this was due to moisture and age, and the solenoid being located at the low point in the lines. Cleaning all the goo out has cured it for over a year now.
