Do you know how to read schematics ? It might be the driver transistor which has shorted. You need to find out which transistor is corresponding to the outhole.

Schematics are here ;

Looking at the Solenoid Driver schematic - "outhole" is Pin 8 of J5 - which is Q16.

Use a multimeter to check if it is shorted.
