Changing Batteries on Taylor Thermometer?
Has anyone successfully changed a battery on one of these?
I ordered one of these when it was the select, and I just opened it up to give it a try this morning only to find that it would not turn on. I suspect its batteries have given out. I tried to follow the instructions on how to open it up, and I’m pretty sure I did it wrong and may even have broken it :-(. I’m not in front of the booklet now, but the very first instruction said something like remove the backing from the device. I tried to do that and the silver part came off, revealing what looked like dried glue, so I’m guessing that wasn’t the part that was supposed to come off. But I didn’t see any other seams. I also took the little side pieces off and had a terrible time getting them back in once I discovered that taking them off wasn’t helping to open the thermometer.
Any ideas welcome!
Pics or model number? Taylor makes several different thermometer models…
I bought one from 52teas a few days before it was the select and it’s also not working. I haven’t tried changing the batteries yet, though. I’m pretty bummed.
I figured out how to get the backing off, but my smallest screwdriver is too big to unscrew the screw (step 2). So I’m stuck for now as well…
piece cake .. no tools needed.
at the arrow insert thumbnail in the recess and pull outwards
there is a barely visible lip there
HAVE NOT FOUND THIS ANSWER ANYWHERE
I find that although they work well, they don’t last. My previous one literally fell apart. The one I have now hasn’t yet but that’s because I hardly use it.
There is a tiny screw holding the battery door shut. You have to REMOVE that screw in order to replace the battery. Otherwise you will destroy the sliding door that the battery sits on.
