How do you address a sealed relay that is not functioning?

When addressing a sealed relay that is not functioning, replacing the relay is often the most effective course of action. Sealed relays are designed to protect their internal mechanisms from environmental factors such as dust, moisture, and corrosion. When a sealed relay fails, it typically indicates that the internal components may be damaged or have degraded functionality that cannot be repaired through cleaning or adjustment.

Replacing the relay ensures that the circuit can function properly again with a new, reliable component. This approach is generally recommended in cases where the relay shows signs of failure and troubleshooting does not yield a solution. Other options, such as adjusting the relay's position, cleaning the casing, or inspecting connections, may not resolve the underlying issues associated with a malfunctioning sealed relay. These steps may be useful in other contexts but are not likely to be effective for a sealed relay that has stopped functioning.
