Possible Causes

Damaged probe cable insulation, Probe tip exposed to direct flame, Moisture ingress into probe, Worn probe element

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

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

  • 1. Ice water test: Place the probe tip in a glass of ice water (without touching the sides). It should read close to 0°C (32°F). Large deviations indicate a bad probe.
  • 2. Inspect cable: Look for cuts, kinks, or melted sections. Replace the probe if any damage is found.
  • 3. Avoid direct flame: Route the probe so the cable does not cross over the fire pot or touch hot metal edges.
  • 4. Replace probe: Plug in a new Tepro‑compatible meat probe and verify readings against a known good thermometer.
