Gaggimate Pro temperature and pressure issue. Gaggia E24 240V

Posted this on discord but not getting much headway in terms of response or solution.

I have successfully installed GM Pro v1.1 and currently running v1.8.1 stable. Machine turns on and reaches the temperature for selected profile eg Cremina Lever at 86C and I can pull a shot. However I have encountered the following issues, after pulling a shot, the temperature will drop to 70+ C or even lower and can't go back up unless I turn off power and turn on again. Pressure also drops to almost zero and can't go back up again.

This temperature issue is seen even if I don't pull a shot but if i leave the machine on for more than 5 minsvie after reaching the temperature for the set profile but I don't touch the machine, temperature will drop after awhile and can't go back up, pressing brew icon does nothing, no water comes out of group head or steam wand..so something off and on restores the temp.

PID settings are 58.397, 1.027, 249.055 and temp offset is 8 deg C. Blue thermostat wire is routed away from HV wires.

Could this be a PCB controller issue? Thanks
