Morning all-- After my recent total teardown and clean and rebuild (B2, PID, rotary), I finally got parts yesterday. I replaced both over-temp switches (one per boiler) and the thermoprobe in the brew boiler. I have re-attached all wires per my pre-teardown photographs and triple checked them all.
When I turn the machine on, my breaker trips--it is an arc fault and ground fault breaker, so not sure which one is tripping it, but since the outlets on this circuit are all new and otherwise functioning properly, I'm assuming it's a short to ground. So far I tried pulling one wire from each boiler and turning on; no change. The big red switch does feel a little chunky, but not overly so. The machine has been on a timer for about 7 years, so the switch normally hasn't been used. Other notes-- --Is there a "backwards" way to install the overlimit switches? I assume they're non-directional? --My citric solution took the plating off the heating elements--they are now shiny copper. Can this cause a fault? --Can the big red switch cause a ground fault? --Are there other really obvious things I should test? Really looking forward to that first shot...hoping it will be today... best, bmc Sent from my apple IIe -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Brewtus" group.
