Temperature Gauge
« on: November 09, 2018, 08:34:15 AM »

Started my CB 5036 up this morning.  When I turned stove on the water temp gauge read 48.  Started a fire and came back an hour later and the damper door was closed and the temperature gauge read "---".  Turned the power off and back on.  Same thing.  Did it again and it started working again. 

Questions:
What caused that?
Is it something I should be concerned about?

Thanks

Went back out to the stove and the temperature is jumping all over the place????  I have a meat thermometer on the water lines and I know the temp is 185.  I turned power off to stove until I can figure it out.

Possibly a bad sensor.

Hopefully somebody that has dealt with this will chime in

Trying to remember back to my old Classic days, but yes it may be just the water temp sensor probe. Probably just $10 or $12 bucks or so. Worse case scenerio could be a controller which sell for under $60 I think.
