What Temperature Probe Error
actually means.
TQ3 conveyor toasters with the touchscreen control regulate heat through an RTD temperature probe. When the probe or its wiring fails, the screen shows Temperature Probe Error and the toaster cannot hold a consistent shade. The manual's checks are resistance and wiring tests, and its final fix is a new probe.

What to do when Temperature Probe Error shows on the commercial applianceKind of codeSensors and probes
A probe is handing the controller a reading it cannot trust, or none at all: a box or coil sensor torn loose from its clip, a fryer probe coated in carbon from oil left too long between filterings, a combi core probe with a kinked cable, or a connector gone green from steam and cleaning chemicals. The unit then runs on, stops, or shuts the heat or the cooling off to protect itself. Letting it cool and restarting it as the manual describes is fair; a probe that still reads wrong sits behind a panel, and that is a visit.

Restart it once and watch whether the message returns during warmup.
If it does, stop using the toaster and book a visit for the probe and its connections.

What not to do
This message is not about heating elements; element trouble shows as Heating Error. It is also not an overheated control board, which has its own Control Board Overtemp message.
