I see you got it fixed, congrats on finding the loose wire. Sometimes
things do turn out to be simple. For future reference, no, getting
120 across it doesn't rule it out if it was measured when it was not
under load. If you have poor connections you can get 120 when nothing
is running but under load it could drop way down.
