Greetings all -

This morning I turned the Brasilia Century America on and it heated and came up to pressure as usual. Hit the dispense coffee button and it made an odd sound and went no further. After a bit of troubleshooting I discovered the auto fill was not working. The lead going to the control box tested good and both fuses in the control box checked OK. My guess in until the brain senses the state of autofill it comes to full stop, tho not sure.

Up to this point it has been working properly for the last two weeks or so as I chased down leaks, and have been using it to make capps for the last four days with no problems. The only questionable behavior was the lamp to the right of the power knob never lights and it's function is unknown. The left one indicates boiler filling. Starting with what seems most obvious I have contacted jpboyt to see about getting the brain rebuilt. In the meantime, if anyone has suggestions, would love to hear them.

Here's the box, don't see signs of physical damage and both fuses are good.
