Meat probe reads wildly fluctuating temperatures during cook.

Safety first: Use heat-resistant gloves when adjusting the probe during a cook.

Steps:

• Ensure the probe cable is routed so it does not get pinched by the door; use the designated probe port if provided.
• Remove and reinsert the probe plug firmly into the jack several times to clean contacts.
• Inspect the cable for cuts or melted spots; replace the probe if any damage is found.
• If fluctuations persist with a new probe, the jack or control board input may be faulty and require service.
