Hi all
Has anyone else had problems with their aquastat sticking? I just built my own OWB and have been burnin for about 3 weeks, but the last couple of days the aquastat seems as if its got sticky contacts. I'll notice that it runs unusualy long,"allthough it does'ent boil over" and when i go to double check on it as soon as i move the handle and create a little vibration the contacts flip and shut down the air. any suggestions??
