Update: I have banged the pressurestat a couple of times in an attempt to get the switch unstuck - guess what, it worked. The machine is heating both boilers again, however the pressurestat acts wierd. The no matter how I adjust the wheel the pressure bounces up and down between 0,7 and 1,4 bar. So I guess I only need to replace the pressurestat and everything will work again.
