Do you have to do anything special to get the temperature display to work? Mine does not appear to do anything.

I noticed that the temp display had very subtle shading to distinguish between the heat settings. We depend on wrist dipping and a toy ducky which has a temp readout that is easier to see.

Same problem here. Although I have temperatures already stored in the memory from 2012. A bit concerning considering I bought this thermometer in 2014 and it's supposed to be new. Eww. This thermometer is pretty much useless to me without the ability to store temperatures in the memory. Very frustrating since I waited a month for it to be shipped to me. I will contact the seller for refund :(

There is no digital temp display. You turn the dial to your desired temp, but there is no display to tell you what the exact temp is.

it must be preset, there is no temperature control. i don't remember temp. playing into it at all.

Nothing wrong, that's just Centigrades, to change your unit to Fahrenheits, you will need to press the ON/OFF button for 5 seconds, and after you see *F, you're done. Hope that helps

I believe this is a defective Thermometer. We could not get it to work properly and the instructions are inconsistent with their directions. Sorry you are having a problem. We ended up purchasing a clock that sets by satellite with a temperature gauge reading as well that we used for the room temperature and then we purchased a whelping heater that had a built in temperature setting.

Yeah, it seems to not be all that accurate. I use a Bluetooth ambient gauge and monitor temp that way. You could probably swap out the thermometer with another but I've found this solution fits my needs better.

Did you try without extension to check that the unit works?It only turns on at low temp.Then check the extention cord and the wall plug. It has to be one of the 3, or the temp is too high. Good luck

Hey Josh,Mine does have a reddish indicator light when I plugged it in and set the temperature I wanted. Is yours not showing that??

The temperature settings don't change but it doesn't restart. You have to push the button for it to come back on.

Sorry, you have to push the up or down arrow button to display the set temperature. On the other hand, after your system has operated for a while, the displayed ambient temp. is pretty much the set temp. because of the rather narrow temp. "swing" (even with the maximum "swing" of 1-1/4 degree F).

I also had a display go completely unresponsive. You can do a seach online on how to reseat the ribbon cables to the unit , as that might help, or if you have two systems, you can swap displays to get the heat going for the affected zone.Ultimately I ended up ordering a new unit to solve my problem.

Are you hitting the + button until it reaches your desired heat temperature? If nothing happens, return it!

never actually measured the temperature , but the temperature is not adjustable

It usually heats up under a minute. If you increase the heat and the display doesn't go up, you most likely have a defective unit.

The top button is your answer, sounds like it might be faulty. I'm sure you've already tried to just take it out and unplug it and let it sit an hour or so then 1) put it back in the water for 20-30 minutes, 2) plug it in and set the temp. I love mine - and 78 works for my Beta but it will cycle through the choices just fine. I like the way it blinks at a different temp to show actual water temperature.
