Thanks for details. I think I may have failed to mention - looks like temperature drop occurs only when machine sits idle. Initially when turned on it gets to set 93c but begins to drop gradually if unused. Flushing a couple of oz through the brew boiler gets it back to target temperature. Is that failing temperature sensor or something else?
