I thought about the water level switch but I figured since the display was lit and the red light was on to indicate boiler trying to heat that would indicate the BII 'thought' it had enough water - is that correct logic?
I guess that leaves the p-stat and temp controller?? I'm not a meter-guy, don't own one and have never really used one so that rules me out of heading over to my buddies place to troubleshoot with a meter. I'm hoping WLL pops-in to comment on an easy solution as my buddy is starting to look at me sideways since this is the machine's third recent problem (it has sprung leaks from two separate pieces of tubing) I just want to increase his sense of trust in it. If we didn't live in Calgary, I'd take you up on your fine offer, thx. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Shaun Taylor http://shaundoreenevankeegan.blogspot.com/ -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ira Sent: 14 July 2009 16:34 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Temp Dropping At 04:19 PM 7/13/2009, you wrote: >The machine comes up to the set temp of 93 and holds there for >several minutes, eventually the BII starts dropping down in temp >into the low 80's and stays there, all the while the red LED light >remains lit on the digital display when the machine is not at 93. Could be the pressurestat, the temperature controller or the Water level controller. All three of those have switch contacts which might be getting dirty or corroded. I replaced the relay on the water level controller that had a problem that might have been this. Since the red light is on it's trying to heat. A meter would let you check across the 4 or 5 contacts in the chain to the heater and see where the problem is. That is assuming you are comfortable around 117VAC with a meter. If you're in Los Angeles and not, just pop over and I'll have a look.
