Relay problem

If the boiler and all the rest of it is brand new, and you wired it
together and it doesn't work right, guess what... It's probably your
wiring that's at fault.

You've posted no schematics, nothing about what the problem is other
than that the relay is buzzing, and nothing about what you've done
to isolate the problem, and yet you seem to expect us to pinpoint
the solution for you because you say you can't afford to have a
professional come in and do it properly.

What's wrong with that picture?...

Yup, as I said in my post, probably my fault.

As I wrote:
This could be OT, but I'm posting here to get replies with no

I have a relay in my boiler which buzzes/arcs I'm trying to diagnose
the fault, probably in my wiring. What conditions (eg shorting) would
cause a relay to switch on & off very rapidly (leading to a buzzing
noise) & arc?
Many thanks

I did not ask for you to pinpoint the cause, I asked for guidance to
point me in the right direction so I could learn & sort it out myself.
Thats why I posted in a less-obvious NG. I don't expect stuff to be
dished up on a plate, and I realise that there are many kind experts
out there who will offer advice. I could easily scan all the
schematics, post them in & sit back & wait for someone to sort out my
mess - but that's not the way I do things..

At the moment, I have done nothing as I am on a recce. Armed with any
helpful responses like the one from Rich Grise, I will tackle this
shortly.
