Please clarify one thing for me - as I've read thru this post it appears to me that the problem came from the probe being moved from its intended location - the problem wasn't that the actual Helix therm failed - is this correct.

I run both my set ups on a separate Helix and hate the thought of now having to go buy two more Helix's to feel safe.

If I understand correctly - as long as my probe are secure then I should be fine - is this correct.

Thanks everyone.
