Clean temp probe

[Pt moore]

When cleaning use Dawn on a small scotch brite pad and clean the temp probe.
My century 34 reached 450 in less than 13 minutes??
Prior to cleaning my treager would not get over 320.

If the RTD reads 320 degF or less and the set point is 450, then a dirty probe isn't the cause. If the temp display reads less than set point then the control should feed pellets until the set point is achieved. I'm not saying don't clean the probe capsule but that crude is not the issue. Every time I've called traeger service it appears to be a guessing game and a no real science. I got the feeling they wanted that gold star in the 2 question quiz at any cost.

Nice fix, how old was the unit before it starting having temp issues?
