Greetings Ira, Yes indeed I do have a voltmeter. I tried testing the voltage at the pressure stat. When the steam boiler was off, I was getting a steady 115V to the brew boiler. So far so good. When the steam boiler engaged, the voltage to the brew boiler dropped to zero. Also, so far so good. However, the voltage to the steam boiler would bounce around from 115V to 85V to 3V, back up to 115V etc. Another odd thing...when the steam boiler thought it was 'hot enough', I tried rotating the ring on the pressure stat clockwise. This *should* have re-engaged the steam boiler to increase the pressure. It did not do that. Even odder (perhaps), earlier today, the steam pressure would not get above 0.4 bar. Trying again, later tonight, steam pressure would get up to 1.2 bar. Even at 1.2 bar, I could not get the steam pressure to increase by rotating the ring on the pressure stat.
Thanks as always for your thoughts Ira, Rich...you had a good thought there and is does make sense. I have the cover off of the unit and still wasn't helping. I wish it did since your comments were a good theory..
