Did you try looking for a schematic for a similar model? Usually they
are wired similarly. I did that for my Kitchenaid Fridge, which like'
yours had no schematic behind the panel. I couldn't find a schematic
for it either, even though it's only 5 years old. But I found one
for a model that was close. ...

Well, how did you determine "close"?

And, truthfully, I've not found a single schematic at all which just
blows me away -- you'd think folks would put 'em up by the droves; they
post everything else whether of any interest or not.

Back in 1967, a college friend had a summer job working at Western
Electric, packing rebuilt phones.

He asked his boss if there was a schematic of the phone, and his boss
told him it was all handed down verbally!


So he found one in the trash and spent every lunch hour taking it apart
and drawing the schematic**. At the end of the summer the same boss
brought him a schematic of both the dial and the touchtone phone. I had
a copy for 20 or 30 years and I don't know what happened to them.

**Which is not easy since none of the parts in the silver box have
meaningful markings. They're all white (covered in jelly) and not even
shaped like they normally would be, iirc.
