Not sure it is related, but I have put the machine on a timer recently to save electricity... I think though, that I may stop this and leave it on 24/7. I have been looking through this group and pondering the potential problems with up and down temperatures... logically, something that gets very hot and stays very hot will suffer less stress in the long run than something that cycles every day. Prior to 2 weeks ago, it has been on constantly for over a year. t On Oct 2, 5:49 pm, "Dennis Keating" <[email protected]> wrote: > Tony, Check the high limit switch on top of the brew boiler.
