Default For mine.. depends on the time..

This summer it was reading really really low while it was around 25 degrees outside...

Now it doesn't seem that bad but then again, not quite right..

Must be the sensor I guess ?

Default check the faults in the CC head. It will tell you if your sensor is bad, mine was...

got a new one from digi-key and works great now. A pita to solder in though.

Default Re: Here you go..

I was getting a faulty reading this summer as well.

requires soldering, but overall, could be a fun little project.

Unplug the front temp sensor that was attached to your B3 grill. (I have B4 as well, so I just zip-tied the sensor somewhere)

Then using needlenose pull the sensor out from the plastic shroud. Unfortunately mine was completely destroyed when I took it out.<ul><li><a href="http://www.digikey.com">Use: KC016N-ND as part #</a></li></ul>
