That should work for sure.

Thank you for all the thoughts
Richard, your suggestion sounds really promising. Here is my issue,
all. Currently, the brew boiler isn't getting any heat. The
malfunctioning AKO is causing this. But... the steam boiler does heat
up. What if I just switch the wires for the brew and steam boilers?
Would it heat up the brew boiler?
Other ideas for how to get the brew boiler to heat up?
Thanks again!

I have a probable solution for you.
I had the same problem with a Brewtus II.
The original temp probe failed. WLL no longer stocks it and sold
me the PID upgrade kit.
I could not remove the temp probe. I spent a lot of time and tried
many tools.
A local plumber could not remove it. My auto mechanic could not
budge it.
I was on the phone several times with WLL.
Nothing worked. Absolutely nothing.
I spoke with Todd Salzman. He assured me they could fix it. They did.
I finally drove up to Rochester from NYC and watched a wonderful
repair technician Johnny Kemmitz solve the problem.
That was easier for me than shipping it and as a bonus I could
watch them doing the repair.
He tried to remove it mechanically with tools and failed.
He then let it heat up to operating temperature. Of course since
the probe is not working, you can't read the temperature.
He let it heat for about 20 minutes.
It then spun out effortlessly.
He said that for a few years Expobar had been using some very
aggressive thread lock compounds.
Heat works!!!!
