I have a problem with my Brewtus II and was wondering if you could help me figure out what to do.
I have had my Brewtus II connected to a Brita filter after changing the set-up of reservoir sensor switch cables. About a week ago, I forgot to fill the filter with water, the machine went on (it is on a timer) and when I got back home there was a pretty bad smell and Brewtus did not fill with water. I bought a new Ulka pump and changed it (Todd, many thanks for the movie). I changed the pump only as I could not get hold of OPV and deariator in Europe quickly enough. When I turn the machine on, there is short to ground and the Brewtus goes off instantly. When I unplug the pump's cable from the controller, Brewtus turns on, the red light indicating boiler is heating up is on but goes off after a second (but there is no short to ground at least). Not sure if this is relevant, but I did some checks with ohm meter and there seems to be short to ground in the steam boiler (the meter shows resistance when putting leads to steam boiler and copper tubing on the boiler as shown in 15:08 min of Todd's excellent movie on testing electronic systems in the Brewtus). I wonder if the problem is with the pump, steam boiler, or something else? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Brewtus" group.
