You can verify this by pulling back the fill solenoid terminal connectors just a bit (about 1/8" or so) ....... just enough so you can touch the terminals with your multimeter . Start the fill cycle and wait till the water stops . Immediately put one meter probe on each terminal . If you get a 120 volt reading , the valve is no good and needs replacing ......... and id there`s little or no voltage , either the float switch or timer is no good . With the mechanical timers , this problem is almost always in the water inlet valve itself .
