Inkbird RF model probe failures

[Cabo]

I bought a 4 probe Inkbird in April. One of the probes was reading way off temp after 2 months. Inkbird said to dry it with a hair dryer. That did not work, so they sent me a new probe. Now another probe is way off and another is not reading at all. They keep telling me to be sure it is plugged in all the way.
I have had an Igrill for a few years and have never had a problem with any probes.

I have a inkbird IBT 4XS we have a different model unit but our probes are the same... 572 degree short period and 482 continuous.. To me, those are not the best probes.. that is rather low temps, im not expecting to get more than a year out of them.. I will not use them on a grill, its just to hot and will probably shorten the life even more.. i clean my probes with steel wool, but not the cord, try wrapping it in aluminum foil... i have not had any probe failures yet but nothing lasts forever. im happy with the price i paid and the results, i got mine for 42 bux on a flash sale..

Thanks for your supporting my friend.
Any confusion pls feel free to contact us!

I just bought a new oven probe to replace the one that came with the unit due to inaccurate readings. I was being very careful too and only damp wipe the cables and don't submerge the probes in water either. I haven't had any problems with the meat probes yet.

I noticed the new oven probe is slightly longer and is double crimped instead of a single crimp. I tested the new probe in boiling and ice water and it was spot on.

I can understand your frustration. Probes should last years before they start to fail.

Hi friend,
Yes, we have improved some details.
If there is any need for another improvement, please feel free to let me know.

I have the IBT4XS. I've had it for barely a month and it is so sloooooow to read temps. Like 45 seconds to read 212F. One of the probes reads 5 degrees under in boiling water. Not a big deal but I don't have a ton of faith in these and feel like I need to test them every time I do a cook now.
