Not at 0, but mines been weird lately too. I used to always set it at 4 and it would maintain about 16-18 psi. Now all of a sudden the emergency release valve or whatever it's called goes off sometimes to keep it from getting too high of a pressure. And no I haven't changed locations so the elevation factor doesn't apply. The whole reason I got this thing is so I don't have to watch it. Now I feel like I have to monitor it to avoid it exploding or anything

I've never used one but heating elements have huge thermal mass usually. When you turn it down to 0 it's going to stay as hot as it was at 10 for a while then it will be 9 hot and so on for quite a few minutes before the sterilizer sees the burner as being down to 0. A gas flame turns down immediately so you get a better "throttle response"
maybe that's why

The thermostat will click the heating element off once it's a specific temp... At zero, it stays on... It normally throttles everything at around 2 for me.

Replace the thermostat. The problem isn't the heating element. RR
