I was thinking that I had some sort of crazy blockage(maybe floating chunk that only sometimes blocks), but after 4 subsequent flushes (refill and try again) and a but ton of coolant, it kept intermittently happening. dunno what else it could be. I've had stats stick before, but never unstick and stick again, repeatedly.
but thank you, good to know, I assumed that it was a non returnable/perishable part.
I don't want you to waste effort, but you may want to try testing it in water on a stove to see if it is working.
