When checking my smoker today around the 6 hour mark to empty pucks and to fill water i noticed that my PID was not working. My PID is maybe 6 months old max and has only been used 7 or 8 times. It starts the program and about 5-10 seconds in it stops working and the Time LED light starts blinking.
I have checked the fuse on the power input and it is OK.
Anyone been down this road and have any suggestions. Right now I have the manual slider running the smoker temp till I get this figured out.
Thanks,
Mark
Mark, shoot Auber an e-mail quick.
He will answer you on wekends.
Also try calling. I have had him answer the phone on a saturday.
Talk to Suyi.
Thanks! I figured I wouldn't get ahold of them till monday.
I'd be interested to hear what Auber says about this. Are you sure the time segment isn't set to 0 hours?
I recieved a responce back from Auber. They are pretty sure my temp. probe has gone bad. I have not had a chance yet to test it with my multi meter. As soon as I do I will let you know what the results are.
Auber was quick to get back with me and was very helpful.
if its a dual probe try and reverse the probes, if not I had a probe food probe go bad on my dual probe and was able to use a probe from my maverick in place to get the smoke finished

That's some good info to file away for future reference:
The Maverick and Auber probes are interchangeable.
This could literally save your butt! :D
