I'm getting inaccurate temp readings with this. Is there a way to reset? I got it as a baby gift last July (2014) .

You can reset it. Their is a tiny tab by where you insert the batteries. You have to push it with an ink pen.

Have you removed the batteries for about an hour and then put new ones in? So far mine I think is working well..

I have the same problem. The only way to get around this that I know of, is to first step on the scale, wait for the reading. Then step off and wait for It to reset, or It says ready. Then step on again and It should be correct. For some reason It is off by 4 or 5 pounds, the first time you use It after auto shutoff. I wonder If the manufacturer knows this ?

First, you must get a digital thermometer. DO NOT trust the thermometer on this unit. Only digital thermometers are 100% accurate. You can get a cheap one here on http://amazon.com. The correct temperature should be 99.5 give or take ONE degree. Good Luck!

I have no idea what the temperature is. It gets pretty hot and I think that's what happened to mine. I am guessing that it overheated and the motor burnt out??? No other reason for it to have stopped working after a few months and under 10 usages. Maybe someone else actually clocked the temp.

Mine's been running at -8 degrees for a couple of months now. It seems to be quite accurate.

This thermometer is not recalibrate-able. The accuracy of this unit is +/- 1-2 degrees. You can expect a 1-2 degree variance.

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

Bought one some time ago, what I found out is the air flow is low volume. Hold your hand over the top and you will feel a slight air flow.I installed a small computer system (thermal logger) and download the data every 6 months to check on the temperature and humidity. My readings are consistant year round. hope this helps

I recommend that you do what I did. When I first tried to use mine I found it to be off by at least 25 deg. Throw it away it's not worth messing with, then I went to a local restaurant supply and bought an analog thermometer that always works for the same amount. Your experience prove to me that my decision was the right one. Problem solved. David B.

Take the battery out of the thermometer and re-install it install a new battery. If it doesn't clear the problem, get a replacement.

I have never seen a way to set the alarm temp besides choosing between fridge and freezer and I have several of these in use. I also find the quality control to be poor as the last two I bought didn't function at all.

How many months you got? My experience with this device is unhappy and I am still waiting for the alarm to go off. I trusted this thing and it read 2 degrees below zero all week, come saturday I went shopping and got some frozen food, went to put it in freezer and it was like a sauna in there...been that way all week. I went and checked the readout on the monitor and it still insisted that my freezer was 2 below zero. I junked the freezer and am stuck with the monitor.

I have never had that problem with mine. It seems to be fairly simple to operate......you turn it on, set the temperature, set the time, done. However, if you set it on the highest temp setting (which in my opinion is too hot) it will revert to the lowest temperature setting after 1 hour. I am not sure why. However, anything outside of this.....I would look into sending it back. I love this product and so do my clients.

Mine won't stop popping the manual reset. This thing would be a lot better of it wouldn't take over an hour to come up to temperature and me baby sitting it with pressing the reset button every min.

There has to be a way to change it. I threw the directions away, but when u power on the device it shows Celsius before changing to Fahrenheit. I just can't figure out how to get C to stick

I found the temp to be off on mine. I used a remote thermometer to set the correct temp to 135 for an hour. This worked fine. I did let it warm up for 15 to 20 min

It's been awhile since I used it. I know you have to push something twice to get it to Fahrenheit, and then keep pushing to get the right temp. I wish we hadn't bought it, it hasn't been too useful to us.
