how come mine reads the wrong depth and temp is off a little?

About reading wrong depth Testing in steel/plastic pails will make the reading depth wrong. This is due to sonar has a 90 degree angle to send and receive the sound wave to detect fish and the bottom. This will make the sound wave to reflect more times from the pail wall and bottom then makes the reading inaccurate. Testing within 2-100 feet in wild area will make the reading normal. The fish finder shows the bottom counter by sending and receiving 90 angle of sound wave. The machine will pick up the shortest reflect point as the depth of the water, if the bottom is not plat or if the bottom has some weeds, will make the reading depth a little off. About the temperature, The reading digits will much off in the first few seconds when environment temperature is much difference with water temperature. But with the time changes, the sonar suitable with the water temperature, the variance will be much narrow.

When I originally put mine back together, I assembled it incorrectly - limiting my hot water. I went back and realigned the gears on the temperature selector so that it would give me the entire range of temps.

Once I lock in the thickness setting on the bottom, it gives me the right thickness. Are you holding it on the bottom and possibly moving the dial? If not, yours may be defective.

Carol, This has nothing to do with your fuel gauge reading wrong. Your problem is most likely the fuel sending float unit in the tank or a bad fuel gauge on your instrument panel. This only controls which tank you want to draw fuel from.

I am having the same problem...brought it back 3x without success...also temp guage not working properly either

I haven't checked mine, but it's nowhere close to 140-150F; it's more in the 200F Range. Something is definitely wrong with your Machine.Did you descale it regularly? Maybe that's something to look at.

My daughter and I just tried flipping the turtle upside down and running it under water and as long as the area where the sensor fills up it will read the temp. You can just flip it over, since you'd be holding it anyways, and read what it says.

Mine is the same way, it's about a 1/4 full and says water is low. Not a biggie to me, but is still frustrating at times.

I would be wary of the accuracy, there are "dead spots". I ordered two of these and both of them had a "dead zone" of about 6 degrees (from 76°F-82°F) where it would show it was 76° until it suddenly spiked to 82°.

Make sure not to overfill it, or this phenomenon (as the manual calls it) occurs. There's a mark for the maximum water level on the inside, and it's lower than one would expect.

I have not installed mine yet as I am doing a bathroom remodel and havent gotten to that point yet. The way I understand it is that it goes by the temp of the water. There should be some type of sensor that detects the temp and then changes the color accordingly.

well I also have 20 eggs in mine right now and we have almost the same readings and I have found that most temp gauges will read a little diff every time. Just don't let it get below 98.5 at tray and you should be ok as I have hatched twice now and it worked for me. Good luck and I hope this helped

The temp is set to high. set it lower. If it less then 1 month old return it. If you don't have the packaging then reorder and return old with new package.

If your thermometer reads 60 when it's not in the compost and the air temp is not 60, then it must be defective. Mine reads about 60 in the compost but when out in the 75 degree air, it reads 75.

The thermometer won't read anything that is below a certain temperature. It's in the user's manual, but I think it is around 66 degrees Fahrenheit. Is it possible what you were measuring was below this threshold? I've only seen this message when trying to take the temperature of an inanimate object. I hope this is helpful.

Yes, if the probe is in a "shallow" piece of meat and most of the probe is in the oven, it still reads correctly. I recently cooked a 2.5 prime rib and put the probe into the center and it worked accurately. It does not have to be "deep".

Don't know, never seen it, and not noted in manual. But I'm assuming a mis-match in temp set and actual temp. If it doesn't go away, it means trouble... :)
