    Hi guys, I took out my CO2 regulator from the storeroom today and connected it to my tank. It worked perfectly at first but after 30 minutes, the bubbling stopped. I disconnected and reconnected the plug of it but the small needle knob does not seem to heat up like when its working. Is my solenoid spoilt?
    Cheers!

    After that still have any click sound?
    The click sound is the magnet pulling the valve down when power is on.

    as in when i switch on the power, i should hear a click sound immediately?

    anyway, there is no sound at all when i power on. Like there's no change in anything.

    Maybe not powering up, check the cabling to it..
    the heat is from the electromagnet powering on.
