I got my first Ranco, and I'm so not happy with it. I'm about to throw the darn thing away and buy another Helix. I wired it myself and got everything working, the catch is that the Ranco will not heat up to what I tell it to. With the probe directly on the flexwatt it still doesn't listen to me! If I tell it to heat up to 88 it heats up to 84, if I tell it to heat up to 98 it heats up to 87, if I tell it to heat up to 120, it heats up to 98....I'm so tired of this thing! Anyone have any ideas why it refused to reach the temp I want it to?
Yes I've read through the guide, yes I have it on the heat setting, and yes my flexwatt is working, it gets super hot if I just plug it into the wall.
