It's flammable but it evaporates so fast it isn't a problem.

I would be a bit shy of spraying WD40 in around electrical parts. That stuff
will burn. When I worked in the garage, I knew guys to spray WD40 instead of
starting fluid and the cars would start.
I would recommend some sort of contact cleaner. Make real sure the power is
off, those I believe are 220 volts. Take the top off and make sure the arms
move apart and together. Then you can try flushing the pivot points with some
contact cleaner. Try moving the arms again to see if they are moving easier.
Work at it a short while to be sure they are pretty loose. Then wipe everything
as clean as you can and put the top back on the box. See if the well works
better now.

hi, i have a shallow well jet pump in my basement.
the last 2 days the relay has been hanging up.
meaning it runs for a long time but if i tap on the relay box it will shut
off.
or when you run water the pressure will drop to nothing and the pump does not
turn on.
again if i tap on it, it fires right up.
my question is can i use a little spray like wd40 on it.
i have some other stuff that says it can be used on battery terminals to
prevent corrosion.
so i guess its conductive.
the last time i had this problem i just put on a new relay box.
but don't have the bucks at the moment and its hard to take a shower and tap
the box grin.
thanks
Jim
in Minnesota.
and no its not frozen yet.
