I did replace the temp probe early this morning, so we will see if that helps. I checked the connections and all seems fine. I still don't understand what is going on with my PH probe. Right now it is reading 5.3. Later it will drop down to 1 them back up again. The only time it read right was when I first calibrated it. Now it never gets higher then in the fives.

Probe is either getting stray voltage or its shot. How old is the probe?

I placed the probe in a glass of water and it didn't change. It's maybe a month old.

Do you recall the numbers you got from the calibration?

Not off hand. I can recalibrate to see.

Yes, it did. The first time I calibrated it, it acted the same way. It took about a month or so then it started to drop until it reached one. Could it be that it's just a cheap pH probe?

I guess it's what I get for buying a real inexpensive probe.
