IS MY INKBIRD TOAST?

[bworthy]

So, my instant read thermometer (model HET-F001) has stopped working. When I turn it on, the display reads 888.8E, then switches to LLL.L °F. I thought maybe it just needed a new battery. Nope! This thing is only about a year or so old, do I need to replace it already?

Contact Inkbirds customer support. Found they've been very responsive.

I opted for the rechargeable instant read IHT-1p. So far zero issues with it.

Actually I forgot, there is one issue I wish that they had incorporated a usb plug end into it so you could plug the unit in to charge. Keeping track of yet another charging cable has become a burden!

Thanks for the info. I just looked on Amazon and looking at the reviews for the model I have. Found this to be a common problem, and is related to the probe wire breaking inside. I think I will upgrade to the new version.

I also have the new one and love it!

Before you upgrade I would suggest at least asking the rep here if you can get a steep discount on the upgrade model based on the older one crapping out on you.

I bought three and the wire in the thermocouple on one of the three I gave away for independent testing with my friends broke off at the circuit borad from a bad sodered joint <1yr. Inkbird replaced it and offered a free rechargeable new one but only if I had a paypal acct!? So no go.

Paypal is anti 2nd amendment I stopped almost as soon as I started using them,

Same here. Loose tc wire on two IB therms. I’ve moved on. IB two probe WiFi with BBQGo app works flawlessly.
