Are the probes supposed to come out of the casing while using???

Absolutely not! However, if you are semi handy you can take it apart and fix it some times. It's a simple critter. Also they cover that in warranty I am told! Good luck!

Yes, the probe has a connector that plugs into the back of the edge unit. No spicing to be done.

are you buying the right probe for the right machine? I am on my second probe in 3 years, and still have 2 on the shelf. Is the battery weak? I have never had a problem.

The probes must NOT Be immersed. Just wipe them off after use. I use small wipes (from the drugstore) that nurses and doctors use just before they give you a shot. That guarantees that they'll be sterile. You can't be too careful when dealing with raw meat.Robert D. McGee

No - the instructions clearly state that the cable should not be placed in water! To clean the probe, just wipe off the tip with a cloth or napkin. Don't let the cable get wet. I have owned one for years, and it has always worked fine until recently. I had to replace the cable.

I suggest that you test it first -- not all probes are the same even if the plug on the end is the same.

My oven closes as usual. The probe chord is not thick enough to be an issue. Just ensure you have any slack out of the way of the oven door and it should work fine.

You're not alone..Have the exact same problem. I can use the probe to cook, but just don't feel safe doing that. I've searched and searched for the original piece of equipment to no avail. EJC below has the right solution. Even though i love mine, i'm afraid i'll just have to take my losses and discard what was a very good Wok over the years. I'll consider purchasing a new one (about $60 and up). A note of caution if you do this...apparently the non-stick ones are a waste of money in both the short and long term (coating doesn't stay or scratches even on the more expensive models). Sorry...dm

A wire comes out of the thermometer. It cannot be removed. There is a plastic probe at the tip.

I haven't tried bet am pretty sure it is not. The probe is easy to clean though and I just wipe it off right after use and put it up.

No, the probes are used to measure voltage. You must use the "clamp" feature to surround the wire you want to measure the current flowing through.

You just unscrew the two probes and pop off the plastic caps, you may need wrench to remove the probes and a screw driver to remove the plastic caps. If you have any more questions please ask. Thank you..

When you composed the portion of you sentence "and two that cracked the plastic" it is telling that probe(s) itself somehow became animated and broke itself. It is a poorly constructed sentence so I can only assume you received two broken or non functioning probes. If I am correct I would suggest you go to the bottom of the Amazon.com page and click on "Returns & Replacements". Don't waste you time trying to fix them.........

The main unit is not. I have the temperature probe in a high-humidity environment (beer fridge)but the probe is not submerged.

You can slip the probe through the little loop on the sheath and it acts as an extender to help keep the tip off the bottom. May or may not work for your particular situation, but that is a feature I think a lot of people overlook sometimes

Just wipe them off you don't want to get the wires wet where they connect to the probe.

I can't answer that, but if you measure the contact holes (center to center) precisely, thespecifications of the available probes should answer that. Hope this helps?
