ECOWITT WN34 Soil Temperature Sensor fault

[Nossie]

My WN34 has been reading a toasty 60c underground, I'm expecting a gyser or volcano to break up through the garden anytime now....

I checked the probe LCD and it's also reading this - so it's not a CMX issue - has anyone had success repairing these? As much as I love Ecowitt I have to say some of the sensors really don't have a good reliability record (issues with soil moisture ones in the past too)

Had the same thing earlier this week but mine was reading -40! I got 2.5 years service from mine, which is okay for a £25 sensor. I didn't attempt to fix - just ordered a replacement.

Thanks Freddie, I ordered another but might make a project of taking the old one apart.
