I changed my OVR today
didn't read this first

The contacts to accept the ovr are recessed
How would one know if they were too wide?

I did notice a few relays rock in there sockets
The old ovr had stable prongs so it must be the base that rocked.

If the relay rocks when you wiggle it from above should I remove it and try to crimp the connection socket tighter that is if I could get to it?

Did see one prong on old OVR was darker
could that have been a sign of a problem?

I didn't check the 10A blade fuse yet in the old one...
but I just shook the ovr & sometimes something inside it rattles & is loose?????

Maybe it was broken?

Should anything mmove inside of it????

Thanks
