If you are lucky it is merely and adjustment. The solenoid may be just
barely lifting the rod. If you read the manual it tells you to set the
adjustment
using a drill bit in the hole in the lever. Don't believe it. It may have
worked when the units were new but it frequently leaves you with a misadjusted
solenoid. Try adding a bit more stroke to the adjustment. You may have to set
it by trial and error.
This is by far the easiest potential fix so try it first before tearing into
the filter screen or any other possible cause.
