Hey guys I have a question.

In the middle of a brew day and all of a sudden during my upper sach rest the control panel powered down and I cannot get it back on. I have reset the GFI outlet that it runs on and tested the 120V outlets on it as well. Seems to be good. I haven't tested the actual 240v yet since I don't have a multimeter. Guess I'll need to go to home depot and buy one to test the outlet.

I've reset the breaker box switches the electrician I hired to do the work installed, still cannot get it to power up.

Is there anything on the control panel itself that could have tripped?

I did have an accident with quite a bit of water getting onto my brew table so that could have caused it, but definitely didn't trip it right away, would have been hours later.

Any ideas on what I could troubleshoot would be appreciated.

Check your switch lineup. Make sure the element select is to off and both pumps are off.

That's the SAFE START INTERLOCK feature that our designs all have that ensure the panel doesn't come back on, for safety reasons, if any of the pump switches or elements are in the ON position. More info: http://www.theelectricbrewery.com/control-panel-safe-start-interlock
