need to measure the ongoing heat in a dryer that his around 900 degrees. will this work and the probes? Or do we need other probes?

I haven't tried yet, I got it for HVAC but I would buy different probes just in case these are not raident heat safe probe would live but wire might melt, now if your going to take the temp on the outside of the coil housing it should work fine I used it to check an electric heat coil and got a good read right under the flash plate. Hope this helps any other ? Feel free to ask happy Halloween

I only use my 2 channel (only 1 probe operates at a time) for HVAC measurments. I do not use the probes that came with the unit because ther were only the wire type. It works great. Best of luck, For Clothes dryers I use a laser type to measure the temp.

Most cloths dryers cycle between 135 F and 165 F, which according to the stats in the description should be sufficient.

I bought this temperature device- the connectors that come with it are not probes merely wires with plugs on the end. I happened to have two probes I used with another instrument before so I used them and they worked fine. you have to purchase thermocouple probes . which will attatch to these wires with plugs or have their own plugs on the ends. hope this helps

I have never used the probes up to this temp but I think they may need to be encased in something to protect them. I would think one of the long pointed probes which are available would work better. I have only used the provided probes attached to the outside of a hot pipe to measure its temp.

It should work just fine. I've used one for the past two winters to measure just how long the furnace runs. I used one last summer to see how much the house AC ran. Mine sits on the vent. The key is to place the unit where it will measure the maximum temperate swings as the AC/heater cycles. Another unit sits in greenhouse and is placed away from the heater as I want to know the temperature that the plants are at. I can still tell when the heater is on - for the most part - but the temperature swings are small and hard to see precisely.

Thank you for your question.You can't use this for the hair dryer because this is until 35 w.So I checked a good one for you.We recommend the following goods for a heat instrument.NichiAkira travel industry converter heat instrument for My Pet series KNP-155 (japan import)ASIN: B00131X9EEI hope that it is helpful for you.Thank you.

I dont keep a thermometor for the hot side, just the cool side. I find the readings in this device accurate enough.Sorry for the late response!

No, this probe didn't work. I'm not sure whether the problem was the probe or the base of the thermometer. It was quite disappointing as I didn't use the thermometer very much and I didn't think it would fail as soon as it did.

I have never had that problem: temperature on mine is equivalent to what I am used to from other dryers.

Yes, I have used mine on my dryer vent that has a 90 degree down for about 2 feet and then a 90 degree turn to go outside. These 90 degree turns are in traditional ducting so they are smooth 90s.

Some stuff that you will want to dry require a cooler temperature or closer monitoring. It will save you stress if you use the variable temperature dryer

Yes Deborah you can check fuses with the Multimeter. Most important is to make sure the power to the dryer is off before you start. If the power is on to the dryer you could be KILLED. Once you have the power off, remove the fuse. Then set the Multimmeter to Ohms. Touch the Black and Red probes to the fuse. If the Ohms shows Zero the fuse is good. If the meter does not move the fuse is blown or Tripped and it must be replaced or reset. I hope this helps. Karl

Yes, this dryer works great (according to my wife). Powerful, three levels of heat and quiet. She loves it.

Yes, this system monitors every circuit in my house including my AC and dryer. It saw that my refrigerator was short cycling before it died so I wasn't too surprised when it did. Because of the age of the refrigerator I choose to replace it. It also showed that my upstair AC was burning 1.5 times more power than my downstair unit which is twice the size of the upstair unit. I replaced the unit last summer and my July bill was about $120.00 less this year. I really like this unit. Hope this helps.

I agree with Wowsie; it probably won't give an accurate reading just touching a surface. The probe is designed to be immersed. Why not use one of those IR thermometers? There are cheap ones that go to about 900°F. I see McMaster-Carr has them that go to 1800°F, but it's over $200. Or look at a color chart, if you're getting it hot enough. I Googled "metal temp color" and many charts popped up.

definitely more than a dryer and you won't get the heat you may get from a dryer if you use the dryer exhaust for heat.... i bought that piece for my garage but is not effective, in winter time at least....

No. Sounds like the timer switch. More expensive. The 2 thermostats control the heat and extreme temps. The timer on an older dryer is the main knob that you turn to select what type of load you have and how much time.

Try to Google TASI 8620, I paid about $10 for something like that. I purchased two pile PCTL01 clamps, and use both at once to display temps.Climate C guy: Craftsman has more than one type of meter?

I looked at the safety instructions and it said "Standard Dryers are designed to operate at 110 to 125 volts A.C." I hope this helps.

Some of these units come with a clip to allow you to attach it to the side of a pot. So long as the probe is not touching the bottom or side of the pot you should get a reliable reading. Just be sure you have stirred the pot so the temp of the liquid is uniform.
