Tom,

We had similar problems with our Technical Devices machine.  From our
observations, it appeared to be directly related to the amount of humidity
in the air, possibly combined with nighttime temperatures in the facility.
After moving the machine to a controlled environment, the problem
disappeared. I don't know if condensation on the pot was the entire problem,
but it appears to have been a contributing factor.
