I would change the controller, the contacts on the relay seem to be burnt.
Kind Regards Andy:)

Hi
If the compressor supply feed/current is being carried by the contacts within the controller it may be an idea to have the controller power up an external relay and take the supply feed for the compressor thru that relay. Therefore if the compressor draws high amps, greater than the rated current of the new wired in relay and burns the contacts out you can throw the cheap relay away and not have replace the more expensive controller.
