Problem with Taylor 1470

[mick7607]

I used my Taylor 1470 for the first time Saturday and was generally pleased with the overall performance of the unit. However, when I washed the probe after the cook, the wire separated from the metal probe. I didn't use abnormal force in cleaning, it just came out. Has anyone experienced this? Will Taylor make it good you think? I emailed their customer service this AM.

I got a Taylor that I have had for at least 3 years & still using the original probe.

My Taylor 1470 is two years old and still working...however, there is a bit of a short in the on/off switch - but it still works most times.

I don't go the extra mile trying to take care of this unit, so I'll probably just replace the whole thing this summer.

I would think that Taylor would replace your probe at no charge, providing of course that you can prove you just bought it.

You can get replacement probes here. They also have good prices on the thermometers.

I've had better luck with Taylor when I call and talk to their customer service. I had some probes that went bad but it was after alot of use and they sold me replacements for $5.00 each.
