Karen,
That's an unusual problem these days. I think this is one you ought to
discuss on a phone line with Todd S at WLL.
Your "mental mode" of how the machine works seems a little inconsistent with
my understanding of which processes have priority over others and of when
various "over limit" fail-safe mechanisms kick in. But some important
electronic components in the BIII were changed from those in the earlier
models that we dissected most thoroughly, so I may be out of date. However,
this sounds as if the pump may not be priming properly which was a common
problem on the B-1 until they added a now standard component.
Since the problem as you describe it is "intermittent" (and thus impossible
to reproduce whenever you want to do so), it is possibly a flaky item in a
system circuit. If so, the Techs at WLL may have a sequence of parts that
they want to replace or test in a certain order in order to isolate the
problem. Or perhaps they have solved it so many times, they can just say
"we will send you a whatchamacalit and you can call us when it arrives so we
can walk you through the change."

From: "Karen" Subject: brewtus not heating up- pressure problem?
My Brewtus IIIR will intermittently not heat up when I turn it
on in the morning.
It powers up, but the heating element does not
come on. When this happens, the pump runs and runs
if I turn it off,
then run water through it (it is direct plumbed and water will passive
drip out due to line pressure) for a while, then turn it on again, it
works.
this has happened when the water
intake was in a jug as well as when it is direct plumbed.
Does the machine stop heating if it
thinks the pressure is too high?
