I believe so. I saw Todd chime in, Todd?b Sent from my iPhone On May 2, 2023, at 19:42, Sam Macaluso <smac...@gmail.com> wrote:
Bypassed the overheat sensor and still the same. Could it be the control board?

Oh! We’ll that changes things. In that case, I think you’re probably looking at the overheat sensor on top of the steam boiler. See if it isn't crusty and falling apart. Bypass it and see if it stops tripping the breaker. You should be able to grab an ohm meter and check for continuity from the leads on the heating element to the copper boiler.
Hey Ben,
If I disconnect the steam boiler and leave everything else connected, it doesn't trip. As soon as I connect the steam boiler, it trips. I'll check your posts and see if I can trace it down to something more specific by bypassing the pressurestat.
Cheers Sam

Hey Sam— It’s been a minute, but I’m pretty sure that the brew boiler has priority if you’re on a US/120V system. So—the boilers get filled, and then the brew boiler fires until it’s hot, then the steam boiler fires until it’s hot.
If I had to guess, I’d say the brew boiler element is the culprit. Checking resistance may not help you, since it can be intermittent and may look fine when cold. Search my old posts on bypassing the pressurestat—that may help you for troubleshooting. You should be able to test by putting power to the brew boiler, and if it trips the breaker right away (or as it’s heating), you’ve found the culprit.
Hope that helps, and I’ll be curious to hear what you find.
Best, Hi,
My Brewtus Minore trips the RCD/Circuit breaker after the steam boiler is filled. I though it could of been the element so replaced it but it's still doing the same thing. I've checked everything else and they all seem ok.
Any tips or ideas what could be causing this?
Cheers Sam
