Help - Need some theories about root cause.

For a few years now if machine is run until reservoir is empty, when I 
refill reservoir with machine on it will in one of 5 occupancies start an 
awful pump juddering. High frequency off/on of the pump. When it happens I 
open brew switch which forces pump on, once the low water in boiler is 
filled by pump I can turn off brew and all is well.

The scary thing is that when the juddering happens the pid display flashes 
off and on, and often the pid display shows version and doesn’t shift to 
regulating brew temp. In past 4-5 times that it happened I’ve been able to 
get pid working with pid reset and then waiting 30 minutes for it to start 
working. (Blue display pid on b2 upgraded).

So, happened again a few days ago and pid seems stuck this time. Strangely 
pid display was blank for a few minutes before slowly brightening. I’ve 
ordered a new one but thinking something bad is happening with the pump 
judder and I should fix that too. I don’t want to kill another pid.

Anyone experienced the judder? Is it a problem with low water switch? Or 
maybe with solenoid? Some feedback between pump and low water switch? Seems 
maybe a short since pid display is flashing dark indicating low voltage.
