This happened me three of four times over the last 3 weeks. Basically the water had frozen in the pipe leading to the pressure switch (the small box about 4"x2"x2"). Any way I got a bottle of hand hot (definatly not boiling)water an poured it over the pipe and the pipe leading to the switch. Trying not to pour water over the box itself as it is electrical. The water in the pipes leading to from the pressure vessel may also be frozen and will need some warm water poured slowly over them too. You may need a few bottles but it will eventually defrost it.
