After spending a few hours working on it today I'm almost 100% certain this problem is in the realm of a tradesman with knowledge of how steam in boilers can do things that people like myself have no knowledge of. The 2 links I posted earlier of what it looks like in a boiler during various circumstances have me convinced that this is not an electrical problem but rather a steam problem.
I was once told that novice tradesmen like myself often look for the difficult answer to what often is a simple problem. I'm convinced that we covered all the simple solutions a long time ago as far as what plumbers and electricians are trained to understand.
