Oh that's great! I see there is a replacement that's $20 + shipping.
I'd still like to know the answer though. I can afford a new probe today but just in case I didn't have the spare cash for it I'd like to know if a repair is feasible.
Thanks again!
I've repaired chewed probe wires for thermometers before, but they never read quite right again, so I wouldn't take the chance on something as important as a thermostat.
