Does this mean then solenoid valve is bad or is there an adjustment? This heater is 5 years old this summer and has performed perfectly always to now.
Anyone seen this before?

Yes, the valve probably has a tiny piece of trash holding it open. Since it's not really serviceable, You'll have to replace it.
