How can I tell if my digital thermometer is correct?

The advantage of this method is that an accurate thermometer will always read 32°F in a properly made ice bath regardless of altitude or atmospheric pressure.

Why is my digital thermometer reading wrong?

If your device uses probes to detect temperature, inaccurate readings can be a sign that the probe is going to fail soon, and you may want to order a replacement. 100°+ Inaccuracy: It is likely that your probe has already shorted out and may begin displaying a letter code soon (such as LLL or HHH).

How do you know if a thermometer is not working?

Add a little clean water until the glass is full and stir. Wait for about three minutes before inserting the sensor on the thermometer into the ice-filled water. Wait for about thirty seconds and check that the thermometer reads 32°F. If it does, then it is accurate, but if not, it requires calibration.

Why is my temperature different every time I take it?

Basal thermometers can measure small changes in your temperature. If you measure several times in a row, your body’s temperature will naturally rise (and sometimes fall), so the first temperature reading will be different than the next reading.
