Appliance: Thermador Dual Fuel Range Models: PRD304GHU, PRD364GDHU, PRD366GHU, PRD486GDHU, PRD364NLHU, PRD486NLHU, PRD484NCHU, PRD305PH, PRD364JDGU, PRD366JGU, PRD486JDGU

⚠ What This Means

On Pro Grand models with a digital display: when the temperature probe is plugged into the oven's probe outlet, the control screen automatically displays PROBE and defaults to 120°F (49°C). The oven display shows the current internal temperature of the meat as it cooks. The probe temperature range is 120°F (49°C) to 200°F (93°C). When the actual probe temperature reaches the set target, a beep sounds.

🔧 How to Fix

  1. Verify the probe plug is fully inserted into the oven wall outlet.
  2. Verify the probe tip is inserted into the thickest part of the meat, not touching bone, fat, or gristle.
  3. Use the + and - buttons to adjust the target probe temperature (range: 120°F to 200°F).
  4. Press ENTER to confirm the temperature setting.
  5. If the display does not show PROBE when the probe is connected, check the probe outlet in the oven cavity for damage or debris.
  6. If the probe temperature reading seems inaccurate, test with a separate instant-read thermometer for comparison.
