Replacement Nu-temp polders?

[Stucue74]

I realize there are quite a few historical threads on Nu-temp but after reading thru several I'm still trying to find out if Nu-temp makes a replacement polder for the 701. Out of my three probes, one will only read HHH and the other two seem to be reading higher than they should compared to cheap insert thermo's, I'll try to test in boiling water tonite but does anyone know if they sell just the probe and how much they cost? The transmitters still work fine.

thanks.

Nu-Temp has replacement probes for their transmitters (see bottom of page of the link).

You have a 701, right?

Yes they do. I bought 3 replacements at the time that I bought my original. I have not needed them yet, but have them when I do need them.

I think new probes are about 9 bucks. Probes fail at 3 spots. The tip goes bad if it comes in touch with direct heat over 700 degrees. The connection fails where the wire enters the probe(this is wha tmakes it read HHH), or the cable compresses or frays and then it reads 2 low. Call nu-temp. they sell replacments.

Appreciate the input. Looks like it's replacement probes for
Christmas this year, temperature probes--- the gift that keeps on giving.
