    I think you are referring to the contactor, The points can be filed and smoothed but it is not easy and as cheap as a contactor is I would just buy a new one. If yours is a normal 24 volt single pole contactor you should be able to get one for under $20.

    If you change is yourself make sure to make yourself notes as to where the wires go and then look at the new one and see if it is the same.
