Re: Brew boiler not heating. SSR problem?

2017-10-28 Thread BklynJim 
Found a loose wire coming off PID and now it's working again. Still have a 
problem with the steam boiler not refilling once the machine is warmed up. I'll 
start a new thread for that. Thanks again for the help

Nicolas,
Yes I am in Brooklyn - Carroll Gardens. I really appreciate the offer. I
actually ordered one from eBay this morning. It was only $17 so I figured
it was worth having a spare if it turns out the SSR wasn't the problem.
Love this group. Thanks all!

Hey Jim not sure from your name but do you live in Brooklyn?  I'm in Long 
Island city and happen to have a spare SSD but planning on sending it back as 
it wasn't required for the pid installation looked WLL said it was.  If you 
figure out from the boards it's ssd maybe you can borrow it for testing but 
I'll need it back for refund from WLL.

Re: Brew boiler not heating. SSR problem?

2017-10-27 Thread BklynJim 
Thanks Ira.  The SSR take AC load on both sides and I believe I saw 110V on 
both sides(  L1 and A2? )  when I measured.  I'll confirm tonight.  Seem 
like the other possibility is a bad PID but not sure how to check it. I did 
check the power to the PID and it is showing 110V and displaying the 
correct temp.

Hello BklynJim,

What does the other side of the SSR show? Read the label to see if it takes low voltage DC or 117AC. If the SSR is getting the on signal and is not conducting it would sure seem to be a likely suspect.

Brew boiler not heating. SSR problem?

2017-10-27 Thread BklynJim 


  

 

Hey guys,

So I have a  problem with my Brewtus II with a retrofitted PID (did that 
last year with help from this group).  Yesterday morning the machine heated 
up fine and was functioning normally, and then there was a loud popping 
noise from the machine and the brew boiler temp starting falling.  Brew 
boiler is now not heating.  Did some exploring last night following the WLL 
video:

· PID has power, shows room temperature and a solid blue dot – 
calling for heat.  

· SSR has 115V but no green light.  

· Resistance across each boiler is ~13 ohms.

· Pressurestat tests normally 

 
Does this sound like a shot SSR?  Anything else I should check? Thanks guys!
