I may get a chance later today to look at this.  From what
I recall, there are 2 dark (brown?) covered relays and 3
metallic covered contactors visible with the front access
panel off.  Nothing rattles or moves on them.  If these
aren't the relays you're talking about, point me to a URL
of a photo of them (from the manual is fine, or give me
a page number in the service manual), or email me a
photo or clip from one.

At least every 30 days.
