Any Reason not to Reuse Magnetic Starter?

[K Powers]

I have a Siemens WS10-230p (single phase starter believe rated for 10hp but Im using on a 7.5) the box is a little grungy but the coil and heater "look" to be in good condition. Is there any reason I should not clean it up and reuse?

If youre using it with a lower HP motor then u need to change the heaters...if its in good condition then i dont see a reason not to reuse it...thats a DP definite purpose contactor and is not servicable!

good point, the starter was oem with the motor - but Ill double check the heater. just wanted a sanity check before I clean it and wire up. Thanks
