I opened him up, and the plactic piece over the steam boiler water level sensor was very discolored - like it might have shorted. I disconnected it, and Brewtus turned on and the steam boiler began to fill. I reconnected the sensor, and the boiler filled (and stopped filling) normally.
Everything seems to be fine. Fingers crossed, it's fixed. It seems like something was making that connection very unhappy. -Merlynn On Sep 10, 12:12 pm, Barry Luterman <[email protected]> wrote: > Sounds like a short.
