Default Ice Dispenser gone CRAZY!

Reference: Maytag frig MSD-2758-DRQ, 6 yrs old.

Hello. I was recently standing by the refrig (really!) when the ice
dispenser door opened but nothing would come out. I pressed all
buttons on the control panel and pressed the ice dispensor pad to
dispense ice but the door remained open with the solenoid running. No
ice would come out and the auger did not run. When I opened the
freezer door the solenoid would shut off. Shutting the freezer door
caused the solenoid to run "open". I needed some time to find my star
sockets to remove the wire connection and by the time I returned (5
minutes), the solenoid smelled like it burned out. I then removed the
red insulated wire to the solenoid and was able to use the frig again,
albeit without ice dispense. This happened just after the defrost
control module failed, which I replaced the next day.

After I replaced the defrost control module, the solenoid appears not
to constantly run, however it is bad; the ice door now only opens about
1/4". For the last year, the switch that actuates the water and ice
would sometimes stick, so I'd like to replace that switch too.

What parts do I need?

Thanks in advance.
