You need a pro to come and replace the well ASAP as we all know water and electicity do not mix, well at least not pleasantly.

Bruce,

Can you tell me what the well is?

a wrench applied with skill and experince might correct that in

short order.

however if a person goes to wrenching on it without releasing the cap tube it is possible to completely ruin the controls abilities to function...

The well is essentially a capped off tube that allows the control to feel the water temp. in the boiler without actually being in the water. It allows the control to be changed without draining the boiler. Like your finger in a rubber glove-you can feel the water without actually touching it.
