What a phase isolating relay does

A relay is a switch worked by a small electromagnet. In a phase isolating relay, the contacts connect or separate a supply phase within the appliance's power circuit when the control or a switch energises the coil. Because the contacts carry heavy current, they wear over time. When a relay like this fails, people notice part of the appliance that won't heat, a relay that clicks but passes no power, burnt or pitted contacts, a hot smell from the controls, or a circuit breaker that trips.

Safety first with relays

This part sits in the mains power circuit. Isolate the appliance at the switchboard and confirm it is dead before opening any panels, and leave the job to a licensed electrician. Photograph or label each wire on the old relay before removal, as terminal positions matter. After fitting, check every function that draws power through the relay.
