    Describe the noise. Loud clicking? Chatter? What? Back to you, Tom

    The only things moving are the contacts. What's left are the windings. Does it hum all the time? Back to you, Tom

    Then it's in the windings. I see no harm in that as long as the windings aren't heating up but if the hum bothers you simply replace the control box. Good luck, Tom
