The sensor itself is a small stick type probe that just clips into the side. Is it common for the probes to give incorrect readings or could it be the main circuit board ? Is it possible to test the probe ? Thanks in advance Danny

If this is a non North American unit I probably will not be able to get any info on it. Check the actual temperature with a thermometer.

Also could be a bad/dirty connection where the sensor attaches to the board. [COLOR="Blue"] Is it possible to test the probe ?[/COLOR] Yes but I would need to find the tech info. It is probably a thermistor so you may want to Google "thermistor resistance" to get some general info.
