Hello
Well I'm always monitoring the temp in Mr Ts faun it usually goes up to 30.4 degrees c give or take .3 and shuts Off and starts up again at around 26.5 but when I woke up this morning it was reading 37! But nothing has altered and the probes haven't moved any ideas ? I've turned the stat right down just so it's a tad colder rather than too hot
Thanks |

even 'decent' digital thermometers can go faulty, sometimes it's just cos they need new batteries, anything giving an obscure reading i double-check with a greenhouse type thermometer
what's your basic set-up like and where are the probes? |

| The only time I have ever had a reading like that is when my stat probe came unstuck and lifted off the heatmat. |

Both probes are on the inside of the faun reading from the same place with one of those rubber suction pads the thermometer display is looking dim so I'll get a new battery tomorrow and I'll have to pick something else up to get a reading for back up for future reference
