I called WLL and they had me reset the high limit switch and adjust the pressure state to have it close to but not exceed 1.5. It may have helped slightly but the brew temp will still drop about 4 degrees after brewing one shot and steaming 6 oz. of milk. Perhaps it may need a new pressure stat but I'm not 100% sure how to confirm that.
