Same thing just happened to me. The wires to the old AKO temp probe
shorted because the insulation had dried and cracked off.
Sometimes the brew boiler would come up to temp and sometimes it
wouldn't. When I removed the temp probe I found that the wires were
bare inside the probe and thereafter got the E1 error.
Just replaced the PID and temp probe with the Gicar using the kit from
Wholelattelove and all is well.

Have you ever replaced the pid? I had an issue years ago when my temp
sensor went bad and I got the e1 error. I think the wire burned and
was intermittently shorting. Your problem could be there.

Update – after being at 93 for few minutes, the GFI popped and the
display is reading E1.

I suspected as much. Gotta run for now, will think on it and look
up the wiring diagram later.

Hi guys,
Ok, connected steam boiler wires to brew boiler – it did NOT pop
the GFI, and is now coming up to temperature.
So, looks like it is not the boiler element – what’s next to check?

So let’s try steam boiler wires to brew boiler, with brew wires
disconnected and taped, and see what happens there. If that trips
the gfi, I’d say you have your solution.

Sorry guys - I did not connect the steam boiler wires to the
brew boiler.
It was the brew boiler wires connected to the steam boiler that
did not pop the GFI.
My bad.
Thanks,

Wait a second—I thought you said this *did* pop the gfi. (What
you said to Herman).
Here’s what I think you’ve found, please correct if needed:
With all normal wiring, gfi trips immediately when cold and
turned on.
With both boilers disconnected, gfi does not trip.
With wiring reversed to opposite boilers, gfi trips.
With brew wires connected to steam boiler, steam wires
disconnected, gfi does not trip.
With steam wires connected to brew boiler, brew wires
disconnected, gfi trips.
OK, that’s it—what you said to Herman below is directly opposite
to my last statement, so please let us know.
best,

Hi Herman,
I did that check, and it did not pop the GFI. The pump ran,
lights were on - this was with the steam boiler wires connected
to the brew boiler.
Thanks!
