I could tell this morning that my water level control sensor probe was not working properly - confirmed by drawing some liquid out of the steam boiler and it didn't refill.
To test, I removed the connector from the probe, powered on, and it started to fill. This is likely related to horrible water in my area (hard, iron, sulfur, yuck). I soften, filter, and soften again in the Brewtus, but suspect that the scale has gone crazy in the steam boiler. I had the great idea to remove that probe and take a look at the tip. I loosened the top/smaller nut and the probe lifted freely. I then pulled it through the teflon seal. Sure enough, it was not pretty at the end. Cleaned it up and reinstalled. In starting the descaling process, I have a leak around that probe now. I fully expect to hear I should have never removed it. But, is there a trick to getting that part to seal? I suspect the trick is buying a new part. Thanks for any advice or comments. -David -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Brewtus" group.
