Royal Gourmet Meat Probe Sensor Failure or Connection Issue

Built-in meat probe (if equipped) reads incorrect temperatures or no temperature at all.

Possible Causes

Damaged meat probe cable on Royal Gourmet controller, Probe tip exposed to direct flame, Loose probe jack connection, Failed probe sensor element

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Handle hot probes with heat-resistant gloves.

Steps to restore probe accuracy:

Inspect cable: Check for cuts, kinks, or melted insulation along the probe wire.
Check connection: Ensure the probe plug is fully inserted into the jack on the control panel.
Test in ice water: Place the probe tip in an ice water bath; it should read near 32°F (0°C). Large deviations indicate a bad probe.
Replace probe: Install a new Royal Gourmet-compatible meat probe if the old one is faulty.
