    Thermostat probe?

    Where are you supposed to put the thermostat probe in a rack? My probe keeps moving out of place.

    Tape it down flat in direct contact with the tape on one of the middle shelves.

    That's what I've been trying, but everytime I pull a tub out it gets moved.

    I run my tape wider than the tubs and then place the probe to one side, so the tub doesn't hit it when slid into or out of the rack.

    Re: Thermostat probe?

    Is the heat tape belly heat or back heat? The main thing is to tape the probe wire and don't cover the probe itself with the tape. You will need a wide strip of tape to keep it secured. Sounds like your heat tape is anchored as belly heat.

    Yes, it is belly heat. I have one of the AP combo racks that holds 15 or 32 qt tubs, but I've got all 32 qt tubs in there right now.
