Whats inside the Mavrick 732 probes. Easy to fix.

I had a bad smoker probe and maverick sent me a new one so I took it apart and fixed it.

Well maybe not real easy but if you have a grinder then grind off a crimp and peel back the housing.


Slide the probe out.  It came out to easy.


There was red silicone but not to much and it did not stick to anything.

There was also a heat shrink tube from the end of crimp to about half way.

And there is a plastic tube around one wire and crimp.


So the only thing inside the probe is the glass ball therm with two wires that are crimped to the cable.

The only way i see water causing a problem is if the very end where the glass therm is gets filled but that would be hard with the silicone inside.

The problem with my probe was that out of the 5-6 strands in the cable only one was crimped and that failed.  POOR QUALITY.



After soldering the crimp


Put some tape on it.


Taped it up and put back in probe body


And here are the finial results.


I will seal up with red stuff when i do the door on my brinkman.

As a update I have used this probe two times now without problems.
