i installed an auber preinfusion +steam PID in my silvia this week. everything seemed to be done ok and it works fine, except that when i set to steam ive had it start to rumble when it gets up to the off temp (140c) and ive had to press the reset switch twice as its cut in while heating up to steam temp.
im thinking that maybe theres a delay in the temp sensor (not enough paste/pressure) reading the temp and the boiler is getting too hot?
its hitting about 145c after the element is turned off.
the brew temp seems about right, by look and taste anyway
perhaps i should measure the water temp post group? ive got a temp/multi meter that i got from this site for measuring my popper roasting, but i dont have much else in the way of equipment.
i had no problems before i put the PID in.
any other thoughts?
cheers,
phil.
