At which time it
did drain I assume?
The solenoid should pull in (close up) when powered to activate the linkage to drain. Assuming the linkage is still connected, either the solenoid may be defective and not able to pull in or it may not be getting the 120 volts needed to operate. Someone will need to determine which.
The following links might be helpful?

...with the meter set at 200ohm.

The testing of most things should be usually done on the 1 ohm (Rx1) scale unless known for certain the component has a higher resistance and needs the added sensitivity. In most cases on appliances only testing for continuity (see the following link) is required not the actual resistance measurement.

I just bought my first digital multimeter last night.

I personally would prefer using a cheap $5 analog multimeter from Radio Shack over a digital one for most testing.
