Hi, a short while ago the brew boiler on my Brewtus IV would not heat up much above 30 or 40 degrees C.
When I got to look into the problem it went away for about a week. Now it is back. Below is some more information. The steam boiler heats up just fine. The pressure is 1.25 bar, which is what it has been since I bought the machine about three years ago. The voltage to the control board, PID, static relay and steam boiler are all 115 -- 120 volts. The resistance across each boiler is just under 14 ohms. The high limit switches are not tripped (there is no resistance across the contacts on either side of them). From what I gather all of this is as it should be. The voltage to the brew boiler is only 60 -- 65 volts. I noticed once or twice, just after the machine is powered up, that the voltage to the brew boiler is 115 -- 120 volts, and while this is so, the brew boiler heats up, but it never makes it much past 50 or 60 degrees C before cooling back down, at which point the voltage to the brew boiler drops back down (to about 60 - 65 volts). Any thoughts about this would be much appreciated. cheers, -wb -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Brewtus" group.
