I keep getting a temp reading of 37 or 38. What am I doing wrong?

Just press the on/off button for about 5 seconds and it will change. It is set for Celsius and not to Fahrenheit. Easy fix. Wish they were all this easy - would simplify my life!

Nothing wrong, that's just Centigrades, to change your unit to Fahrenheits, you will need to press the ON/OFF button for 5 seconds, and after you see *F, you're done. Hope that helps

You have it set for centigrade. Read the instructions and it will tell you how to convert to Fahrenheit. I did the same thing.

I believe you have the thermometer reading in Celcius instead of Fahrenheit. Check the upper right hand corner to See if there is a C of F displayed. To change the scale, When you turn on the unit hold done the button until you see the hourglass. The thermometer will change.

Remove your batteries, and replace. This may reset your device. Then turn on and follow directions of use on yourself and allow the tip to remain on forehead a few seconds longer. This may allow your device to read correctly. My experience is it is too slow to work and my child moves too much to get a reading on them. My tempuratures range 2 degrees low to 2 high on myself. A 1 being worst, and a 10 being the best: I give this device a 2. I am still trying to find another use for it then a thermometer, so I will not have wasted my money on it.

It sounds like you need to set the thermometer to Fahrenheit instead of Celsius. 98.6 degrees F is equal to 37 degrees C. Unfortunately I don't know how to change the setting.

Its reading in celcius. 38° celcius is 100° fareheight... there should be directionns on how to change the readout to °F..

For some reason it must be set to celsius, check your instructions on how to set it to farenheight.

Try turning the. Thermostat setting higher so it's higher than the room temp.

The only settings on the cord are: Warm, 270, 320, 370, 420. It does not indicate any other temperatures. My guess would be "no", it won't go down to 150. I usually use the 270 setting on this when I would have used 350 on my old griddle. The numbers do not seem accurate at all.

I got mine down to 39 degrees, but I have no experience with performance at that temperature.

It's very safe at 350, which is the only temp I've used it at. Sorry if this doesn't help, you might try the manufacturer.

mine is set on C and I keep meaning to contact the company to find out. It is warm on 37-38 over that it gets hot. If you get the answer before I do please let me know. No it is batteries

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

I am not sure. On low we're supposed register it at 100, but I find it is not a true reading. It seems to run hotter on all settings. The more I use mine, the less satisfied I am with this product.

The lower the temp the warmer it is. The fridge seems to run very cold so a 2/3 setting should help.

I haven't checked mine, but it's nowhere close to 140-150F; it's more in the 200F Range. Something is definitely wrong with your Machine.Did you descale it regularly? Maybe that's something to look at.

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

First off, let me say this, the one I got has an accuracy of +/-5 degrees on the rise temp. But then the temp has to drop almost 40 deg's before it will turn back on. This is not a tight enough tolerance for a smoker. Now if I remember correctly, looking at the back of the stat, with two contacts up and one down in the mid section, the one in the middle is the common, and the won to the upper right is the normally closed. these are the two pins you will want to use for heating. I recommend double checking this with a multimeter to be sure. I will double check later tonight.

Sounds like you have a bad control board. The temp can be set on both the front face of the unit and with the remote control. Take it back and get a new one!!

I would check your regulator on the tank. Try putting a small propane bottle on and see if the grill gets above 350.. If not contact the manufacturer Hope this helps

at room temp 20-22C runs warm to touch but not hot... avoid boxing it in and hot conditions, running nonstop may reduce lifespan...i try not to run it nonstop but if i do it just runs warm and i keep it suspended

hydro idles at 14c never goes over 40c at full load I am using it for my 8150 bulldozer

I would unplug it and replug it in, and go through each step again. When I first started using it, I would forget and set the temperature first instead of last. Look for the blinking dot next to the temperature.
