I concur. If the display was accurately reading 270 and the PID
continues to show plausible numbers, then the temp sensor is OK. That
leaves the PID (or the older controller if that's what you have)

Maybe an anomaly, but probably temp sensor and/or PID controller--my
money is on the PID.

yep, over temp switched was tripped, I reset it now things seem to
have come back to normal and temp is stable - the question is was
this because of the temp sensor or because of the PID. I hope I won't
have to find out soon ;)
bmc, thanks for the tip !

Hoping your over temp switch on the brew boiler tripped. That
would explain no power to brew boiler. My guess is temp
controller is the problem since it would be the part to cut off
the boiler at set temp. Reset the over temp switch, turn on and
watch brew temp; if it starts going high again you've confirmed
the cause of no power to the boiler. Not sure if there's another
way for us laymen to test temp controller except just trading it
out. Might ping Todd as well.
Best,

hey guys,
like the subject says, this morning I turned it on and an hour
later I found it showing 270F. (was set @ 199F)
reading was real, when pulling down on the lever steam would
come out of the group head.
Anyways, I turned it off then turned it back on, then it never
reached nominal again. After it cooled down I opened it and it
looks like only the steam boiler is heating up. Unfortunately my
multimeter is dead (I can only measure resistance not voltage)
and I could only measure that both heating elements have the
same resistance (about 14 or 16 ohms) so they're prob. both ok.
I ordered another multimeter and when I get it I'll try to
follow the measurement tips from the WLL video
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UIiLeRdVWAU> unless somebody
saw this happening before and can point me what the problem was
in their case ;)
