    • The X2 capacitor (C1, yellow) for the power supply of the electronics (relay, LED etc.) often has a strong capacity loss. As a result, the relay no longer pulls in. Nominal capacity is 470nF, often only approx. 250 nF are left. Unsolder capacitor and replace with new, specified X2 capacitor with 470 nF and 250 V AC.

    • Assemble device and test according to VDE 701/702.
