Yes the unit can still be bad if the fuse is good. If it has a black top then it is original/old. Red top is a newer one but they can still fail.
As for cleaning the valve, it works only part of the time, sometimes the unit just needs to be replaced. Feel free to spray carb cleaner all over the inside. I usually put my finger over one of the hose connections, fill halfway with cleaner, cover other end and shake it for a while, then drain/repeat. Wear gloves...
