If the wiring is ok, relays, etc., than most likely it is a bad selonid. When these start to fail, maybe in the windings, the unit will have a nasty chatter before total failure. And the design for that selonid has changed and I recall when we tried to replace one some years ago, it wouldn't do the job. I'll have to do some research on this.
