There is continuity in the switch when I turn it on vs having it off

Nothing at a1 and a2 either, is there a way to test that voltage is coming through the switch?

Alright, when it's off there is 250 at 2 and 4 nothing at 1 and 3, turning it on makes no change

I'm building my panel and ebiab kettle now, might not be the best example, but I've got a partlist and some build photos, doesn't turn on right now so I'll have to take it all apart and figure out what went wrong, but eventually I'll have an example of what not to do...

Yeah maybe that's the case with the contactor, but Im not sure of there's anything getting across it, but I still wouldn't expect the pump outlets to have power until I actually turn the switch on. The contactor should make a sound when it turns on right?

Well I tried switching these, no dice

Sorry forgot the attachment

Guess I'll start ripping this thing apart. Does the contractor coil wiring make a difference if the hot goes to a1 or a2? This is how I have it now

Oh and ignore the whole pump ssr relay part that's different now

This is mostly my wiring diagram , made a few changes like a another regular outlet

Alright, it's kind of a mess but here it is.

Well, I messed this up somewhere, as soon as I switch the panel on all the 110 outlets are hot on both sides and the main contactor isn't turning on. I can't find any strange continuities between the plugs and the inlet so I don't think there's a short anywhere. I feel so defeated.

Couple shiny coats of polyurethane, mounted the panel, and threw on the casters. Coming along nicely. Not sure if I like how low the panel is, might try to tilt where the bottom attaches to the cart to make it come up a bit. Or find a mount that will telescope up. Should I be worried about...

Got it stained, Super heavy, very solid

Pretty crazy to see plans come to life. Going to add a drawer at the top, sand it, stain it, put on some casters, then mount my control panel and pump

I've been piecing it all together rather slowly, maybe to avoid knowing how much I've actually spent? Anyways here's a pretty complete part list https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1yzLaWbzu08l0pjyqSUvc-P65l8G5jgJQReTeNIf4SE8/edit?usp=drivesdk

Do you have a link out to one you'd recommend?

Going to build a small cart to put the kettle on and mount the pump and control box. Basically just a 2 ft cube with 3 inch locking casters on the bottom. Going to add a drawer in the center. I am afraid that the weight of the control box might be enough to tip the cart over though. Maybe...

Also added vinyl with my wife's cricut, which is a lot harder than she makes it look.

Finished up all the wiring. Anyone have a good checklist to go through before turning one of these on? I've got a multimeter to check for continuity between points and such. Just afraid to actually plug it in.
