If it overheated there is a thermal fuse on the top of the brew boiler. The brew and steam boilers are both powered off the p-stat. When the steam boiler is under the p-stat set point the steam boiler is heated and the red light below the hot water wand comes on. When there is enough pressure for steam the p-stat redirects the power to the brew boiler and if the thep controller says it needs heat, the brew heater is turned on. So the problem could be: bad p-stat bad temp controller bad brew boiler heating element bad over temp switch on the top of the boiler burnt wire somewhere I don't think it can be anything else. I was at home depot and discovered that for about $9 you can buy a perfectly good heater for an espresso machine. Might not fit the Brewtus, but it does make the question of where to get an element for a home built machine a bit simpler.
