Hi all.
I made the mistake of not taking photos when I disconnected wiring from inside my boiler.
Why did I do this, because I went back to my boiler expecting it to nearly be ready to turn the tap. To my surprise it was on 28 degrees and stopped getting warmer, it was dead. I checked the usual and tracked the issue down by the electric burn smell, it turned out to be my power switch on the boiler. Found a replacement for $4.95 but then could not work out how to wire it back up.
I am hoping one of you fine members will be able to help especially if you use the Boil-A-Beer, Beer Me Boiler. My boiler has a date printed on the element of 2012-12-24.
I did look at my Sons Boiler but his is only 6 months old and though it looks the same it is wired different and doesn't have the circuit board I have.
I have tried to attach a few photo's to show what I have done.
Please I know what I have done! No Judging Please.

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards JustStill

This is the exact same unit.
Best photos I could get without dismantling the unit. Its working fine so don't want to mess with it.

Thanks Waramungas
:clap: :clap:
Photos will help me hopefully. Nicely done.
It may be cactus anyway but thought if I can get away with the new switch its way cheaper than a new boiler. $245 can supply me with a few ingrediants so I can make almost 5 brews.
Cheers and I will let you know how it goes. Or not!

You could also fit a weldless element if the standard one is shot,by cutting a hole in the side of ya boiler ,they come in a range of sizes from 900wt -2000wt and over,got mine from HBS I have a couple of the 25-30lt stainless still spirits boilers with three different sizes for choice.cheers hillzabilly ;-)

Good suggestion hillzabilly, didn't think about that at the time :think: . As they say there are more ways to skin a cat, you have suggested another worth keeping in mind. :clap:
But looks like my $495 switch and the wiring photos from ^:)^ warramungas ^:)^ has done the job. I have been able to bring to boil 5 liters of water with no problem. I ran out of time this weekend so next weekend i plan to try it with a wash and just in case I still have a problem I have my son's boiler to take over.

Looks like i should visit the portal more.
