So last night I brewed and noticed something odd, I couldn't control the rolling boil with my PID like I usually could. Usually when it starts to boil, I will reduce the power from 100 to about 50-60 which then still keeps it boiling but not crazy. Once it gets boiling and senses the temp, the element light that I have will flash showing the heating element being turned on and off, it coincides with the LED light flashing on the SSR.
But last night was different, both the LED light on my PID and the LED light on the SSR was flashing (showing that it was turning the element on and off) but the actual 110V light that is for the element was not, the element had full power at all times.
Is it possible for the SSR to go bad where it's always "on" and never regulate the power on it's output leg even though the LED on it is flashing?
