    T234c condenser (in very cold garage) Heater has now got traces of condensation and is reading to earth.

    Called out to this one with the relay/contactor burnt out, replaced it only used once and now its burnt out again.

    Any ideas? Could it be that the condensation has shorted the element, causing the problem?

    you have not said how this contactor has failed

    if the heater had shorted i would expect it to blow the fuse and maybe weld the contactor contacts together

    if as you describe this is a burn out unless moisture is getting inside vthe contactor than this can only bad electrical connections. cut the wires back far enough to find clean wire and replace with new good quality connectors that are tight any loose conns will get hot and burn out

    hope this helps

    Yes Sorry

    The Relay contacts welded, very strange as c/x said only used once?

    Did not blow fuse. just tumble no heat.

    yes that is strange i would check harness for chaffed wires may be shorting with vibration

    cant understand why not blowing fuse and still welding relay
