Hi Ira, Wife turned my unit on this morning so I had to check it, turned off and emptied steam boiler. It had filled. So I turned on, Steam boiler filled with no heat light to steam, once filled the heat light lit for steam and operation as normal. It seems that if I drain the steam boiler after everything is heated up that's when the problem arises?
