Reasons
1. Sorry to know this problem.
This means the Pressure reading is too high which does not match the temperature reading.

Solutions

1. There are 3 major parts, please check first. Hopefully one of them are reason, which can solve this problem
1) RTD (steam) sensor, to make sure it can read correct value, this normally happened when the temperature is between 90C to 110C
2) Check the top back valve solenoid, to make sure its Ohm reading is about 16 Ohm.
3) If still not work, then check the cable connection between Power board and MPU board.
If the above 3 steps does not work for you. Sorry, you need to replace the parts again. The problem may be from the MPU board's calibration or the display board. Pelton & Crane does not want customer or their dealer to do any further trouble-shooting on it.
