Thermo temp reads HI, won't reset. Help!

I have now gone through three of these because of the same error message. I use mine for roasting on the BBQ, and my understanding is that the cord is fried because the heat from the direct flame is too intense. I have a friend who's been using the same unit for years, but only uses it in the oven where there's no direct flame. I hate to tell you this, but your unit is caput. You can contact Oneida and get a replacement cord, but my experience with them is that their customer service is nil. There are thermometers out there that can be used on the grill. This isn't one of them. Believe me, I speak from experience. I have now gone through three of these because of the same error message.

Eric:Like you, I was unable to get a direct read from either of my 2 remote sensors. It, supposedly, will use the readings to "average" the temps, but like you, I would love to see a direct read-out on the face of the stat!Sorry I couldn't help you . . .Mike

Same problem here. Although I have temperatures already stored in the memory from 2012. A bit concerning considering I bought this thermometer in 2014 and it's supposed to be new. Eww. This thermometer is pretty much useless to me without the ability to store temperatures in the memory. Very frustrating since I waited a month for it to be shipped to me. I will contact the seller for refund :(

The temp is set to high. set it lower. If it less then 1 month old return it. If you don't have the packaging then reorder and return old with new package.

Did you try and replace the heating element with the spare one that comes with the set? At 217 degrees, that's not even close to melting solder. I know my station has to be set about 100 degrees higher than where I normally would set it, which tells me that the thermostat isn't very accurate, but other than that I've used mine to build hundreds of circuit boards at home and actually prefer my solder station over the ones I use at work. If the 2nd heating element doesn't work, I would contact the seller.

My guess is that you have the "low temp" value set higher than what it is sensing as the current temperature. I never use the low temp thing so I have it set at 35 degrees and I never have the issue you are describing.

reset button on back--both extreme records revert to current temperature. I had to open and clean the swith on one of the three meters I bought--works fine now. Pat.

The unit has a fixed temp and cannot be adjusted check your specs for setting

Check your batteries and reset the thermostat. That should fix it. If not, contact Hunter.

Sorry, no idea. On an off chance, have you tried the temp probe from any other electric appliance? My pancake griddle power probe is almost identical. Or try e-bay or Craigs List?

I have incurred the same issue. What has worked for me is before turning unit on, make sure the heater and temp control are off. Once the fan starts moving, then turn on the heat and temp.

Thermo-coupling needs to be replaced or look for a reset button near the pilot housing.

click the center button on the bottom to select Heat / Cool and then push the " + or - " to select the temperature wanted. Are you having other issues ?

Press and hold the reset button on the back of it. That's what I did when I checked it out by taking my batteries out.

there's a reset 'button' on the rear near the unit's on/off switch....use a straightened out paperclip or something similar.....
