Well - still having troubles. I began heating my water the other day and element started leaking. I was using the stock washer with the lament. I ordered the washer and oring ala Kal. Well, it's still leaking into the element housing. I soldered a locknut to my kettle and even with using oring...

Replacement part came in today! I'm auto tuning! Feels great to finally have it up and running! I'm auto tuning and then will get ready tomorrow for its inaugural debut! Still need to order panel tags but that can wait.

Same reading. Bummer. Was hoping to brew this weekend but I'll just order a new contactor and see if that helps. I really appreciate your assistance. Cheers!

And as a side note, everything else works great. PID, Pump and stir motor all function as they should. Just having issues with element.

Here's a shot of reading resistance. Multimeter set at 200K.

Voltages were taken directly at contactor (white and black) read 120V. Are you thinking I have wired incorrectly or bad contactor?

If I put connections back on and measure across coil, I have a reading of 1.

I'm getting a reading of 1 across the coil. All power is disconnected by the way. If I take neutral and hot connections and put together and read with multimeter, 0 is read.

Also, I confirmed on side of contactor that it is a 120V coil.

I have 120V across the coil from the white neutral line from push button to black hot from push button. Sorry, I hope my explanations are ok. I'm not the most electrical savvy person.

Here's the diagram I used as well.

I wired according to PJ's diagram. Coming into the coil are hot and neutral from the push button. 240 comes in via main power and off SSR.

Here's a photo of the wiring. Again, power is coming in from switch to contactor but the two hots going to the element outlet aren't reading anything. I don't hear the "klunk" when the element switch is pushed.

Input side of contactor is reading 240V but nothing's reading on the output side to the element. Faulty contactor?

Long time without posting on this. Finally have it up and running but having issues with heating element. I think I may have a bad contactor. With a multimeter, I am reading 120 from the push button neutral to hot. However, it is as if the contactor isn't closing because I don't get any reading...

I may have missed it, but what is Chad's website?

I completed a wet run tonight. Well, I've encountered a pin hole in my mash tun - so disappointing. I tried to solder it but was unsuccessful. I am going to order a 1/2 coupling and plug it I guess. Heres a picture of the final spot for the new brewery. I decided to mount the panel on the wall.

Anyone? I'm going to send my panel to a cutter this week. Any help on the above question is greatly appreciated.

Anyone know what size hole to drill in the panel for the deluxe Auberins RTD probe?
