This unit is around 20 years old. Parts are hard to source for anything that old. It is branded Bosch, Model number KGU6695, though I think it is probably rebadged Maytag in other markets.
The icemaker recently failed (or more correctly the motor mounting points on the plastic chassis for the ice delivery auger shattered), and we repaired it with a bit of Aluminium panel, but now the solenoid that opens the hatch that dumps the ice cubes into your tumbler doesn't actuate. The solenoid itself bench tests OK, so I'm looking at the solenoid drive signal (230V).
The weird thing is that the solenoid has always actuated at the same time as the auger, so I can't figure out why they have separate drive signals - hence my request for a schematic, so I can maybe see what's going on.
