I would think that would cause a continuous problem not a intermittent problem. But I'm glad it's working for you

I always replace the main motor contactor in the Rss40 lifts. The contacts inside of them start to get dirty and you'll get the occasional welded contact error.
I get the White Rodgers 120-904 24 volt contactor off eBay for around $25
