It will only read 20.00 or -2.00 on the pH setting. Occasionally it will read other values that appear correct, but only for a split second before jumping wildly and then resolving to -2 or 20. Following procedures to run calibration are unsuccessful. Using electrode 13-620-531. Will take temperature accurately. I would hate to track down a new electrode if there is a simple solution I'm overlooking. (I tested the meter by capping the electrode input and checking the voltage, which was accurately 0). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
The electrode you have is a combination electrode with an integral calomel reference half-cell and built-in temperature probe. Since the temperature reading is good, the temperature probe is okay. It isn't part of the pH circuits anyway. (Your meter uses the temperature to calculate a temperature correction of pH.) Something else is going on with the electrode proper. Its funny behavior suggests to me that it has dried out internally.
pH electrodes don't last forever. How old is this one? If it's an old one, it's probably time to replace it. If it's new and doesn't work, it may be under warranty.
If you shop for a new electrode, get a gel-filled one. And go for one with a silver/silver chloride reference instead of a mercury one -- especially if you are using it on food or other samples that may be consumed. Another consideration about calomel electrodes: they take hours to recover from relatively small temperature changes. Ag/AgCl references aren't as sluggish.
Finally, take care when storing the electrode. It should be stored under humid conditions to keep it from drying out. The best way is to put a small piece of cotton or glass wool soaked with distilled or deionized water inside the plastic end cap. For shorter-term storage, e.g., overnight, you could immerse the tip in pH 7 buffer.

ok my friend, right-click on the desktop and select the properties tab then go to display settings/settings and adjust your resolution to 1024x768 click apply and save, you should now have a decent display
SOURCE: Maytag oven needs temp calibration
Take your temp knob off and look in the center of the stem and you should find a small set screw. Using a small precision screwdriver, turn the screw until you see the light come on. (You won't have to turn it far.) Turn it a little at a time, maybe a 1/16 of a turn. Leave your thermometer in the oven with the door closed and at or near the temp probe that is in the oven. This way, you are getting a true reading.

you must have the speedpulse conected with out it conected it will not callabrate
I appreciate your post, Ronald!
From the information you have provided you would like to calibrate the oven temperature on your Frigidaire range. I was unable to locate any instructions on how to perform a calibration on your oven. I would recommend consulting with a professional technician for proper calibration of your range. I hope this information is helpful. -Matt
