To close out this thread......I replaced the Solid State Relay tonight and ran an auto tune. Problem solved! I guess the SSR was stuck closed, so the power was not turning off to the heating element. I learned a lot from this issue. Feeling more comfortable with what's going on in the...

Yeah, and that's why I was hesitant to go all electric. I don't now enough about it, but I wanted to brew in doors. So now at this point I've replaced the 30AMP 2 pole relay (which I thought was the SSR) and my PID and I'm still having the same issue. Just ordered an SSR tonight. From...

Yeah. This one looks like it came from Alpharetta GA. Hope this does the trick.

Read this after I placed my order. This just arrived today. I’ll take a picture if my old one when I replace it. How can you identify a counterfeit SSR?

Seems to be the case. I'll order a new one. Thanks to everyone for all the input. -Ron

I disconnected the wire from pin7 fired it up and it continued to heat the water. So we’re all on the same page the wire from pin7 runs up to my heat sink, from the heat sink back to pin8.

While I would be embarrassed, I which it was that. I checked last night. It was not set to manual mode.

I reran the autotune using AT=2. Set the temp to 154 started the autotune at 144. The autotune stopped as toon as the temp hit 154. The temp continued to rise until it hit 170. I added cold water, cooled it down to 140ish, let the temp rise again. It shot past 154, again turned it off at...

I'll give this a try tonight. I don't recall if I set it to 1 or 2 when I did the last autotune. If it runs over I'll try the suggestion by processhead above too. I'll review the electric brewery info as well. Thanks everyone!

During the auto tune process it flashes from "AT" to the temp current. Once the auto tune is complete it stops flashing. Right? The auto tune stopped, it stopped flashing and the temp kept rising. I figured at 170 it was safe to give up on it.

OutL is set at 0. OutH is set at 100.

I turned it off at 170.

Sorry, it's an Auber SYL-2352

It's an Auber SYL. I believe it's a SYL-2342

I finally had time today to run an auto-tune. I set the set temp to 154, fired it up and began the auto-tune when the water temp hit 140. Just like the last brew day, it hit the set temp, the auto-tune stoped, and the temp kept raising. The OUT led was solid while the temperature was below 154...

I've had a CRAZY work week. I haven't had time to do any testing. Gotta get this resolved before my next brew day. I should be home this week some time. I'll post my findings. Thanks again for all the input.

Following up. Thanks for all the input. The new relay came in. I rewired, with stranded 10 gauge and fired it up. I am having a problem with the actual temp exceeding the set temp, but I'll work that out. I mean it seems like it's not even recognizing the set temp at all. If I set it to...

Thanks PH!

Thanks for the quick response. Yeah, that wire was toasted. I needs to be replaced. Would I be better off switching the braided wire for solid?
