Most likely, it sprung a leak. You have three options
1) Buy a replacement unit.
b. have yours repaired professionally
III: attempt a homebrew patch job that someone will supply a link to soon.

Trevor, any recommendations?
There is a unit on eBay I just bid on (and got outbid already)
Would you shy away from used ones?
The one from Moss will work, but it's not the same dial, and it's $175

Look here if you want a replacement unit rather than repair:

I went the ebay route for my replacement. As long as you get it cheap, you have nothing to lose. Just be sure to ask the seller to stick the bulb in boiling water and tell you how far it moves, before you bid! If it moves on beyond 'N' at 212 degrees, it's close enuf to tell you what you need to know.
