Ben you could always test the board with a meter when it's working and when it's not and see if there's a difference there. I had a switch that would stick occasionally on my BII that had a red reset button on it that was stopping the boiler from heating. It was a high temp switch I'm sure. Some switches automatically reset so it could be something like that. I only use my BII when I'm at the coast so it doesn't need as much attention these days. Having good luck with the GS3. I've had it over 7 years and had to replace the vacuum breaker and one element and that's it. Hope you're doing well.
