1967 Frigidaire Custom Imperial won't Rapidry

So, I'm guessing it's either the timer or the solenoid. Am I to assume I should be seeing 120V at the solenoid when it should be engaging?

If you have it on "durable press",it will only spin the medium speed or slow.I'd check that first.

Yup, checked the cycle selectors and it should be doing the 1010 RPM. That was the first thing I checked.

I think you're on the right track with it being either the timer or the solenoid.  I don't know alot about checking electricals so I'll let you get that advice from someone who knows more than me.  Sorry to hear your Rapidry is not well.

What I would do is take an electric cord and crimp terminals on the ends and connect the cord directly to the solenoid.   When you remove the two wires from the solenoid be careful that they are not touching anything. You can then plug the cord into a computer power strip with a switch and you can switch the solenoid on and off as you wish.  If the machine spins at 1010rpm with the test cord energized then you know the problem is within either the timer or the wiring.
