I've been brewing along happily with electric rig with Auber cube. Last two batches I noticed some variation in temp read outs in mash and boil modes. Mainly reading temperature too high. During boil mode today the reading moved up to 240s, when clearly it was at 212. When heating strike water in mash mode earlier, I had to manually raise setting to achieve desired temp.
Also noticed power came back on and started to boil wort even with % power at 0, not sure if that is related. I never completely trust it to stay off, so elements are disconnected when liquid level lowered, which is a good thing, it turns out.
I am using this with two different sensors, and I did try my spare temp sensor wire, and symptoms the same. The readings will generally go back to more or less correct if I turn unit off & on again. This is not the adjustable calibration, readout seems to be floating around.
Theoretically, I think this is still under warranty, as have had for less than a year. Brewed about 20 batches with it. I can run it manually so far, but seems to be getting further off. Is this about to crash? Is this likely the EZ boil failing or some other component?
Thanks
