I can't get my comark PDT300 to read Farenheit--how? Thanks all, but I'm sending it back.

I didn't try. I'm not sure it even does read out Ferenheit temps. I just converted the F temps I wanted to C to acheive the desired results. Sorry...

When off, press ON and hold. You can watch it cycle between F and C o the display. Release the button when it is on the units you want.

When you turn the thermometer on, just hold the button down firmly for a few seconds and it will switch over from centigrade to Fahrenheit, or vice versa.

If you experiment with the 2 white buttons you can toggle between C and F. Be careful with the buttons, my on-off button got jammed as I was experimenting!

Mine only reads in Fahrenheit. You might try removing the battery and putting it back in.

I had that problem with the first unit I received. It may just need a little more time to get to the set temperature and then stop blinking, But, if it doesn't work correctly after several hours of running, there is a problem with the compressor (possibly damaged in shipping). Call Amazon, they will ship a new one to you for free (as long as you send the damaged one back). Save the packaging materials from the second unit (if you threw away the packing materials from the first one) so you can send back the first unit. Shipping is free, you just have to lug an 80 pound package to the UPS place. Be sure and get a receipt with a tracking number so that you can track the return shipping and see when it arrived back at Amazon. Hope this helps.

It displays temperature in celsius. I don't see a way make it display Fahrenheit.

I have the same issue. About six months after I bought the unit the temps began to have a mind of their own. Regardless of the settings I select, the never stay there and fluctuate up and down with no rhyme or reason. I contacted the so called service department at Wynter who basically told me to take the back off the unit and fix it myself, or I could pack the unit up and UPS it at my expense ( I live in NY, they are in Calif.) and they would fix it. I find their customer service to be arrogant and their products pieces of junk. Sorry for your troubles.

I believe this is a defective Thermometer. We could not get it to work properly and the instructions are inconsistent with their directions. Sorry you are having a problem. We ended up purchasing a clock that sets by satellite with a temperature gauge reading as well that we used for the room temperature and then we purchased a whelping heater that had a built in temperature setting.

Sounds like you got a faulty unit. I've been using mine all summer, never had that problem.

Are you hitting the + button until it reaches your desired heat temperature? If nothing happens, return it!

Could, be a bad thermometer or a bad battery.Either way if its new send it back. I've found it's not the best thermometer out there. Polar is better

A big problem is that one has no idea what the temperature and pressure actually is. There is no read out of either. You have to take is on faith and that is not worth the risk. Get a GoWISE it has a real time pressure readout.

Thanks for your response. I was having trouble picking up the temp from the base. I think the batteries were low (duh.. pretty obvious..). I put in new batteries on both units, repeated the sequence a couple of times and... voilà! I think I've got the hang of it now. A handy little device.

bob, I have one but installed it in the summer. How warm is warm? did you try switching off your power for that outlet to make sure it is working? I also would switch out the 9v battery to make sure that there is not a short in the battery. good luck. chris

Well, I am not sure what model mine is, but there is an LCD display that has not been right since keg 2 - always reads low, or blinking. Beer temp used to be no problem, unless the house was extremely hot. It is winter now, and for the past 2 weeks the keg temp has been slowly rising, despite being set on 36 degrees. Extra foam was always a problem, yet I don't really remember if it also was with the device that comes with the minikeg. The other day I tried to put a new keg in, when I turned it off, it would not turn back on. I have only had it since Dec 2008. I will call support tomorrow.

Hi - Like you, I really like this unit. My I suggest contacting the mfg. If anyone can help it should be them. Best of luck!

I found I had to set the temperature a few degrees higher for it to come on. I believe this is because the sensor/antenna is close to the wall. I am trying to remember how the programming works. I just have mine set at 72 round the clock. I will check when back home. But I love this unit! Nice steady heat and electric bill did not go up.

If the unit is still running after it has met the desired temp that it has been set to then you may need to exchange the unit. I would call technical support for further details for troubleshooting options.

Hi Harold - there must be a defect then. I set mine for 345 and it stops at that - it will fluctuate a few degrees down when in use - but nothing major. I would contact them and have it replaced
