I did have smaller parts such as the switch anf gauge replaced a while back. New protection box for the booster pump and new electrical panel (It's outside and breakers were oooold, even if boxed up )

Can you clean contacts, not just spray with solvent? My equipment is above ground away from the house though. 300 or 500 grit sandpaper is what I used to use. Power off!!!

Pump houses here look like outhouses. Much more pleasant.

Good luck.
