The symptoms matched this and, sure enough, that lifter was broken. Your instructions were right on target. Easy to locate. Cheap to buy. Easy to replace. One footnote: after our solenoid plunger popped out, the voltage began to melt the solenoid. The plunger could no longer slide back in due to the melting so, it, too had to be replaced. Again, a simple enough process. The part sells for $15 to $20. This posting saved us a lot of money in repairs, or a new unit. The symptoms matched this and, sure enough, that lifter was broken.
