Ok back to the problem. Had a stomach bug. So just turned it on again to refresh my memory. With only the brew boiler on the pid shows 70 solid little dot light on the pid. Solid light on the relay. Temp goes up as usual gets to around 195 and the blue dot light starts to blink and so does the green light on the relay. As this happens the checking the power it starts to fluctuate up and down then when it hits 200 the little blue light stops blinking and so does the green one on the relay and both go out. The temp keeps going up. Check the volts on the relay and both incoming A1 and A2 remain hot and the temp keeps climbing. One other item in the past when I would flip the power switch the pump would cycle on for a brief moment like it was a system check. Nothing now. But it turns on when I raise the brew lever. I thinks it is a bad PID. Any ideas out there. David
