Once, a week or two ago, when steaming the pump came on and steam pressure dropped to zero. It ran for a short time and pressure came back and it worked until today. Since there's no such thing as a coincidence I'm sure whatever that was is the same thing I ran into this morning. Today, the steam boiler didn't fill. The pump never came on after steaming my first cup of milk. I reset the high limit switch and even swapped it with the brew boiler. I also checked both with a multimeter and they check good (following Todd's youtube video for checking electrical components). That didn't 'fix' the issue. I pulled the fill level probe and no buildup. I went ahead and pulled the pressure relief valve and made sure it was operating normal and check for scale buildup since I was in there. There's no buildup anywhere that I can find (whole house softener). Following the video, I went to check the pressurestat with the multimeter. As soon as I turned on the machine to check that it works perfectly. Pull the wire off the level probe and the pump turns on. I can adjust the pressurestat and the pressure changes as expected.
I figure something is starting to fail but I have no idea what it could be. I'm guessing the control board may be failing? I figure I'll order another one, just in case. My steam pressure gauge is 'sticky' so I figure I can order a replacement at the same time anyway. What else should I be looking at? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Brewtus" group.
