Maverick Issue

Does anyone know what it means when my remote displays "LLL" for the "Barbecue" temp?  Could it be that that lead is bad?  If so does anyone know how to go about ordering a new lead?

Thanks in advance.

    Per Maverick site: 

    http://www.maverickhousewares.com/support/



    Why do I get HHH or LLL for a temperature when I plug my probe into the unit?

    99% of the time the probe has failed during use. The probe may have had its internal wiring melted, been severely pinched or immersed in water. Any of these would cause the probe to short out and give a HHH, LLL or false temperature display. 

    Sometimes a probe that is malfunctioning due to moisture inside can be made to work again by the following procedure:
    1.) Place probe and wire (not entire transmitter) in a small baking pan and put it in an oven that you have preheated to 300F.
    2.) Leave in for 10 minutes, then remove and allow to cool. When cool, try using probe again and it may work.


    If the probe is still under warranty please either call or email our customer service department with the model # of your unit and we’ll replace it free of charge.

    If the probe is out of warranty please go to our parts and service section to order a replacement probe.

    Unless you have it below 32 degrees the above is true and the wire is bad.

    I had the infamous bad codes. You know what I did? I took off those little grey stoppers and it has been fine ever since. Didn't need to replace the probes. 
    That isn't to say the probes don't get wrecked somehow, but before you toss them and order new, take off those grey rubber stoppers. It's worth a try.

    I just did a search because I wanted probes with 6' leads. Found the for about $13 I think. It has been a couple of years ago though.
