Magnetic Motor Starter not working? Try this before you replace.

Why would you take apart the contactor to play with a button that you’ve already proved to work before disassembly? You didn’t change nor fix anything. Learn me

The contactor contains a pull coil that is energized by two separate circuits which are connected in parallel; the outside button, and the clear switch. The outside button is momentary and when activated, pulls the contact closed. The closed contactor physically closes the "NO" clear switch inside. The clear switch had damaged contacts and could not pass electricity therefore when the outside button is released, no voltage is applied to the coil and the contactor physically opens and allows the clear switch to open. By tweaking the clear switches' contacts internally, it was allowed to conduct current to the pull coil, holding the contactor in the closed position as the outside switch is released. Also, the stop switch is a "NC" switch that supplies current to the clear switch and is required to break the circuit holding the pull coil, allowing the contactor to open when desired. The video clearly shows the before and after results of the modification. Why would you say that there was no change or fix?
