Was there a trick to removing the old thermometer?

No. It just pullouts of the grill hood. Then you push the new one into the hole.

No, I just twisted it a little and pulled. Sometimes they become stuck in from all the cooking grease, so open the lid of the bbq and twist the old thermometer loose.

the thermometer just pulls out the front, twist it slightly to loosen it up.

for my grill it just pulls out of the top itself. Best to check yours out first.

I dropped this thermometer by accident and was not able to take very many readings with it before discarding. I do not have it anymore. Tried to solder it first with no luck.

I no longer have the machine. I recall using a small philips screwdriver to remove the collar on the underside of the machine.

I haven't tried to remove one, but this new adhesive is pretty much an epoxy type cold weld. I doubt it can be removed without damaging the refrigerator. Maybe you should contact 3M and see if there is a liquid remover product that would release the adhesive??

I don't remember removing any from my unit before installing it, I would not. It's probably there to prevent residue from collecting on the sensing temperature probe.

Try looking on You Tube as there are lots of helpful people there. The paper instructions that came with mine were only pictures (apparently so they don't have to print it in several languages) and it is a simple process of pulling the old one off and snapping the new one on.

if you have the new metal replacement part, you can disconnect the old plastic one by simply unthreading it completely off. Mine was broken off, but you should be able to get it off easily

There is a little tool that came in the package, a small circle with a hook on the end. Slip the little hook thru the holes on the grill and pull gently. Took me a while to figure it out too.

There was no trick that I know of. I don't have it with me or I would take a look. You may need to get replacement. I'm really happy with mine and I've tried quite a few.

Yes it was a PIA to get the old out and new one in. If I remember correctly I had to remove the black trim piece around it to get inside and pull out. They give you no help with instructions.

Unplug it from the base. Unscrew the tip retainer and remove it and any tip you might have on it. Holding the handle, unscrew the black plastic ring that has the metal tip retaining threads embedded in it. Once that's off you gently push the cable through the handle exposing all of the solder connections. Now comes the tricky part, you need a functional soldering iron to desolder the old and resolder the new element boards. look it up online ....how to replace heating element in a 9378 solder station.....hope this helps.

You can remove it , but don't think they make a longer one. I had lots of trouble with the probes.

I had the *exact* same issue. I learned by tapping the unit on the side until the handle jiggles up and down makes it much easier to then simply lift the handle off the top.**UPDATE Fe b 20th** Nevermind, it has now become almost impossible to remove the handle. I now loathe trying to remove the top since it could take anywhere from 3 minutes - 10 minutes... along with a bruised palm of my hand.

I haven't done it, but you might try carefully scraping it off with an exacto knife and/or maybe some acetone. Good luck.

I was finding it impossible to unscrew the old filter, too. Then I tried putting the whole assembly in a bowl of hot water for a few minutes, and that did the trick! I also gently slid the edge of a thin spatula around the circle where the filter meets the housing, if that makes sense. Not sure if that did anything, but the warm bath definitely helped. I was thinking I'd have to trash it and replace the entire unit before I tried the hot water. Hope that helps.

I don't think so because its digital. Even the old fashioned kind has taken the mercury out of the thermometer's now.

Just turn it upside down & shake, or pry it from the edge using needle or unfolded paper clip. I believe mine was easily came out.
