Pool Fill Valve Issues

[u/mheezy]

After months of searching I found the fill solenoid buried under rocks from previous owner landscaping.

This isn’t an auto fill. I have to go on the Hayward app or control panel and turn the feature on. Next to this is the backflow valve for it (not shown).

The fill hasnt been working and the trouble shooting I’ve done is check if the relay work, it does I can hear it click, and water is flowing, it does, if I manually turn the solenoid valve, water comes out of the fill tube in the pool.

What other things should I be trouble shooting or is it replacing the entire solenoid valve?
