my steam boiler is taking much longer to refill than i remember and seems to need to refill almost every time i turn the machine on; is this a problem waiting to happen

any thoughts on what to check 8)

Long refill makes me think bad pump or blockage.

Frequent refill makes me think water level sensor or leakage.

I can't think of something that would do both. I'll have to think about it some more.

i had a bad sensor (my steam was too wet)and couldnt get some nut open to replace the sensor, so i sent the machine back to CC to replace the sensor

after i got it back, the steam boiler took longer to fill and recently it seems to take even longer

maybe i will time the refill later; how long does the pump run to fill the steam boiler on your machine 8)

I have the smaller Mini boiler, so you can't compare.
