Our probe started intermittently failing, we have already installed a new one. After going thru the wires and the probe itself I can only find one break in continuity.
I don't get continuity between the blue wire and the contact and the opposite side of the board. Between the blue wire connection and the contact tab is a very tiny rectangular doo-hicky that links the connection, this is where my break in continuity is. It doesn't appear to be a resister or diode, maybe a thermal couple or a tiny fuse type of thing? I have attached a picture for you to see.
So since I don't know what I'm doing does that seem to make sense as the problem and if so can I replace it? If it is a fuse of some sort I know I can just solder across it but not sure that would be a great idea, could set myself up for a bigger problem with shorting out the machine controls possibly.
Any help?
Thanks
