Things got a bit crazier. The PID continues to bounce around and sometimes goes up to 931 degrees celsius. The brew boiler in the unit won't heat at all although the steam boiler works just fine. I've been in contact with the dealer trying to figure things out. I even created a Youtube video for him to look at. Once he saw it, he asked me if the unit was plugged into a ground fault interrupt (GFI) plug. I told him it was. He told me that he had experienced other issues where an Expobar was plugged into a GFI and it caused the PID to malfunction, sometimes with permanent damage. He says this can be due to 'dirty power' coming from the GFI
This may make sense as I unplugged the unit from a non-GFI plug and replugged it back into a GFI plug. He also had me remove the sensor from the brew boiler which I did. It had some mild scale on it which I wiped off with a rag. I tried again, this time on a non-GFI plug and it still did not work. It would seem the problem is either the sensor or the PID. I'm still in discussions with him to determine which is the best plan of action. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Brewtus" group.
