At some point yesterday one of my temp probes, I believe it was T3, started reading error. So when I got up today I thought maybe it was just a connection problem and made sure the connector was in snug. Now all 3 read error. I've tried rebooting the controller several times without any results. Not sure what to do next.

Can you connect just one at a time to see which one is the defective one?
You will need to reboot the controller for every test.

Looks like it was the T3 probe. In the process I managed to strip the wires out of the housing though. The connector sits so tight in the head unit it's very difficult to pull out even with needle nosed pliers.

Welcome to the club. I cant seem to unplug a single item from my controller without yanking the wires out of the plastic plugs. After pulling the wires right out of the pins on my ATO float connectors and having to solder them back to the pins and ripping all three wires out of one of my Temp probes I keep a pair of needle nose pliers with my controller at all times.

Roberto, are the probes under warranty or do I need to purchase another for replacement?

Yeah, I had to remove the head unit enclosure and pry the thing out with a small flat head screw driver.
