Intermatic Relay Problem

[cmack]

No I can't see the contacts. Unless I pry the thing apart. But good point. Maybe the points are fried and will only work for a limited time at low power. My timer works fine. My main timer that is. Its the secondary dip switches that seem to be inoperable. It wont work on auto at all for low speed. That control box is a standard Intermatic with P1 P2 relay. Maybe I'll see if I can't open it up and spray some contact cleaner on the contacts.
Thanks though.

It looks as though the box is made by Jandy not intermatic. Maybe I should contact them.

Did you check to see if you were getting any voltage at the pump. You mentioned that low speed shuts down after only being on for 5 minutes. I am wonderring if there is a problem with the motors low speed windings that is causing the thermal lockout to kick in. You should be able to check to see if the motor is getting voltage in the bell housing of the motor.
