Water in dome thermometer

Posts: 18
I have had my egg since September, but have been able to find every answer I need with the search function. Finally hit one that isn't there.
My dome thermometer got some sort of liquid in it about a month ago. I keep the egg covered when not in use, but we had a heavy period of rain, so maybe that is how it happened.
It is now freezing outside. Each time I use the egg there are drops of ice in on the glass cover of the thermometer. Once it warms up, the whole glass gets covered with the steamed water.
I was hoping it would cook out, but I have run it at 650 for an hour doing pizzas for a party and it is still there.
Any ideas of how to fix it? How to make sure it doesn't happen again?
Thanks,
Greg

Follow Stike's instructions... its work. The hole doesn't need to be big. It might take a few cooks to totally clean itself but it will dry and remain dry. I had the same problem earlier in the fall and now it remain clean with rain, cold and cooksMarc
