Howdy all,
I have the MES 40" with window and am having some temperature issues. I started it up today and set the temperature to 240F. I noticed it went up to 262. WTH? Then it started going back down, then up. So I cracked open the vent and dropped my thermopen in there. The temperature went up to 280 and climbing so I turned it off. I let it cool down and tried again placing a manual thermometer inside and used the thermopen. Still doing the same thing. Is the thermostat shot? I haven't used it in a while, it is on my covered porch and out of any rain, etc. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I can't remember when I got it, I'm sure I posted about it on here, I'm thinking 2-3 years old.
