Electrical relay under sink 84FCSB

[Ralph L. Fullenwider]

Hi Keith:

With shore power off, remove the brown cover on the relay junction box
under the sink. Remove the extender ring on top of the 4 inch box. Apply
shore power, and with your meter set to volts AC check the black and white
wires for 120 vac at the bottom of the relay, these wires cascade up to the
relay coil. If you have power, then it is safe to say the relay coil is bad
and needs to be replaced. I know that your going to find 120 vac there
because you manually push it and you have power to the plugs, but best to
check incoming power anyway so it becomes a "known" rather than a "think."

Now you know the relay needs replacing.
