I just wanted to mention that burned out solenoids can be very easily 
rewound. I've done it by unwinding the old wire (measure and record the 
length) and getting the same gauge and length and carfully rewinding the 
solenoid. The wire can be obtained from shops that repair power tools, 
alternators, electric motors etc. The cost for the wire was just a few 
dollars. Just be sure to use the same gauge and length as the original.
