What is the warranty period on this device? Are replacement probes available, and how much do they cost?

Warranty period is 1 year after purchase or according to state law. Probes are at the moment not available, but will be added to the shop shortly. MSRP will be USD 15.95 pr. probe.

Either the material is at a constant 60 or the unit is broken. My compost runs about 160 and the probe is hot to the touch if I take it out....is yours?

When I have had that issue it and has been the probe that has failed, time to order a new probe. I order two to keep a spare on hand.. My BBQ can melt them when they get caught in a flare up....

I bought and returned 2 Whistler Cr90 detectors, each developed problems within a week. Not sure about the warranty.

I have owned my timer for a few months and only used it a few times, and it just recently stopped working. For some reason, instead of telling me the temperature, the unit just says "HI". I tried removing the batteries but that didn't fix the problem. It appears some other people on Amazon mention having the same problem, and it seems to have to do with the cable for the probe being damaged.

I have had similar problems with the probe. Mine broke a few months after I first purchased the therm/timer. I didn't think to complain. I bought a whole new timer thinking it was a faulty thermometer mechanism of the Therm/Timer- no, it was the probe. It seems the connection between the metal probe, itself and the wire connection is weak and breaks easily (at least this was the prevailing comments from others) I've been very careful to not bend it so much and it seems to be OK, now. However, I'm done with this Polder model. I think you ought to demand reimbursement.

I suggest that you test it first -- not all probes are the same even if the plug on the end is the same.

When you composed the portion of you sentence "and two that cracked the plastic" it is telling that probe(s) itself somehow became animated and broke itself. It is a poorly constructed sentence so I can only assume you received two broken or non functioning probes. If I am correct I would suggest you go to the bottom of the Amazon.com page and click on "Returns & Replacements". Don't waste you time trying to fix them.........

I just want to reiterate another persons comment above. If you get the "HHH" display, it is the probe that has gone bad. It just happened to me. But I had ordered a spare probe, so I was quickly back in business.

They have a 1-yr warranty. They said they will replace a bad probe. As I put in my review, just go ahead and order a new probe. They're expendable and you don't want to be caught without one. You have to know the internal temp of your meat.

The only warranty I am familiar with is with amazon. Maybe Pyle but I doubt they would be much help. I had three break. I would not buy.

I don't see a mfg. warranty in the booklet that came with it, only that it's guaranteed 40.000 readings. I bought it because of the ease of use, and it is very easy to use, you just have to be sure it is set to read BODY temp and not in another mode. I like the product.

You should b able to get replacement parts from Power Probe. They r pretty good about that. If u have a tool guy.. Matco..Cornwell...they also will b able to get parts.

I couldn't tell you, but I can tell you I had to buy a new temp guage shorty after I bought my replacement probe, so I should have just bought the whole unit from the start

Yes, if you can keep the unit working. Mine only worked for a couple months then broke. After numerous promises to send working probes I tacked it up as a worthless piece of junk with NO support.

The long portion of the L shaped probe is roughly 6" - 7" long as I recall. I found IKEA sells a simpler (more durable) unit for way less that has worked very well for me http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/80100406/
