Ira, I believe the voltmeter test indirectly solved the problem. When I put the connecters back on the leads for the brew boiler, everything worked fine again. I did expect the solution to be a simple one but did not think it would be that simple. Ira, you are also correct that the PID light blinks only to pulse the boiler on and off.
I had other problems with the unit before this one, such as erratic PID displays etc. I may never know what caused all my initial problems. Perhaps there was more than one problem all along. After about 3 weeks the happy ending is I'll again be able to enjoy a latte for Easter Sunday. That is indeed a nice way to celebrate the day.
