WHILE IT IS STILL IN
THE COOKPOT,
INSPECT THE PROBE
BODY FOR DAMAGE.
REPLACE IF BENT,
DENTED, OR CRACKED.
Inspect leads for fraying, burning, breaks, and/or kinks. If found, replace probe.
Determine temperature
of water in cookpot
using a thermometer or pyrometer placed at tip of probe.
Is resistance
approximately equal to that given in the Probe Resistance Chart for the corresponding temperature?

Measure resistance through each of the previously tested pins to ground.
Is resistance
5 megaohms or greater No 
Probe has failed. in each pin?
Yes
