Hello...
Nice weather hear in BC. Time to start to do some smoking. Turned my P 10 on..... and temp probe # 1 shows ERROR 7.
Probe #2 works perfect. I try to play a bit with it plug in plug out and couldn't fix it. Also cant find error7 explanation .Please help to solve this problem. Thanks.
Right from P10 Manual page 22
MEAT PROBE 1 /2 NOT
CONNECTED
When the smoker detects a probe failure or loses
the connection during the process, the error code
will be displayed with an audible alarm.
Press the rotary dial to cancel the alarm.
Check the sensor and its connections.
*Note: If sensor is not connected before starting the
smoking process, no alarms will be displayed.
MEAT PROBE 1 NOT
CONNECTED PROPERLY
Also you should do some troubleshooting to see if the probe is bad, or the connector is dirty. Have you switch that probe to probe connection #2 to see if it will work on the other connector.
Have you used the smoker while the protective connector caps were off; if so you may need to clean those connectors with an electrical contact cleaner. Most of those cleaners are just isopropyl alcohol in a can of compressed air. That will force out and clean any grease, smoke and/or other debris that may have gotten into the connectors. My protective caps don't fit very tight, so as a precaution I always try to remember to check to make sure those caps are on.
