PID display shows current temp, no error code.  Steam boiler light cycles on 
and off properly but voltage never goes to brew boiler.

Little PID light is steady.  Temp is set for 96.

This is a B2 so I don’t think the Static relay has a light?

All wires seem secure at the PID.  Will check again.

 

Have watched the video through checking pressurestat and that’s where I stopped.

 

Thanks Todd!

Could be a few things.

 

1.      What does the PID display show?
2.      Is the small light on the PID on steady?
3.      Find the Static Relay and is that light on?
4.      Check all the wires that go into the back of the PID and make sure they 
are properly secured.

Take a look at this video, it may help:

Please let me know what you find.

Hoping for some diagnostic intelligence from you more experienced Brewtus 
folks.  I grabbed Chris Bailey’s B2 last week for my brother-in-law and had a 
chance to start the refurb process a few days ago.

 

1st problem ID’d was a dead pump.  Ordered and installed today, I know water 
has made it successfully to the steam boiler since it’s heating up, producing 
big steam and the status light is coming on and off.

 

2nd problem was one of the Teflon hose that goes from the steam boiler to the 
brew boiler was leaking.  Replaced.

 

3rd problem is the brew boiler isn’t heating. I’ve measured 14.5 ohms across 
the heater terminals and 0 ohms across either of the terminals and the boiler.  
When detaching power from the heater and connecting my meter I see about 18 
volts.  I’ve seen 120V intermittently but it’s not reproduceable and apparently 
never gets delivered to the brew boiler.  It seems clear that something is 
telling the controller not send 120V to the boiler.

 

The setting on the stock controller is at 96C.

 

The components I understand have a role in determining behavior are the 
pressurestat, the heat sensors on each of the boilers.  Is there a water level 
sensor on the brew boiler?  

 

Anyone care to venture a guess or give me pointers on where to look next?

 

Thanks much,

JPaul
