Hi Todd and all, Got the new pressure stat in yesterday, and the machine heated and functioned normally for the rest of the day. This morning, I turned it on and the steam boiler didn't heat. I reset the over-limit switch (new) on the steam boiler and it's now heating.
Is there something I should be concerned about here? I'll see if it was a fluke, but not clear on why the new switch would pop. best, bmc Sent from my apple IIe > On Jul 22, 2015, at 18:46, Benjamin McCafferty <[email protected]> wrote: > > Thanks Todd.
