I recently had a similar problem with a 1000D element which exhibited
similar symptoms.
In this particular one there was a small cal pot which the wiper had
gone O/C. Wiggling the pot about cured the problem here - but of course
you then need to "calibrate" the unit. - hope that doesn't re start the
old thread :-)
Access to the pot is obtained in the usual way by gently- carefully-
lifting the label cap off by gently - carefully- warming the units face
and gently- carefully- easing it off with a sucker and 10a scalpel
blade.
