Farberware Thermo Probe

So far so good. The only problem with these replacements is that the fit is very snug. Hard to remove after use.

I wanted to replace old heat controls for a Farberware frying pan and a Farberware griddle so I ordered two new controls. One of the two didn't fit either appliance and the other barely fits the frying pan. They are poorly made and I suggest that they should not be offered as a replacement for the Farberware Model 100 and Model 101 heat controllers.

I am so happy with the replacement probe control and was glad I read the review. I too, had a hard time 'pushing it' into place as it fits very tight. I just am careful and wash the skillet with the probe in place. Works great!

While my husband finally was able to squeeze it in...it really doesn't fit properly. The probe is too long. It seems to work but I'm skeptical about long term functionality. I also am worried about having to remove it to clean. I love my skillet but haven't used it since I got the new probe because I'm not comfortable with it. Disappointing.

It wasn't quite what my mother-in-law was looking for but it worked fine. It was a tighter fit than she was used to using in the past.

Were told that the piece CO-PRF3 Probe Control Replacement for our electric griddle would fit the model #100 that we had. When it arrived, it was so far off it was ridiculous. The return process was and is not easy with the company we had to deal with Factory Services. We have to pay to ship it back. They sent the part advertised to fit our electric griddle. This can be costly at times. I will now be very careful who I purchase from, through Amazon. Amazon is a great place to find and purchase things, just make sure you know where they are coming from. First time we have had a problem. Hope it is the last. Thank you for letting us make this review, it helps with our frustration at what was advertised and what happened!

The item is described as a Farberware product but is clearly an aftermarket replacement not manufactured/supplied by Farberware. There is no safety agency (UL, CSA, etc.) approval on the device. It was very difficult to insert into our Farberware B3000 skillet. The AC socket receptacles' spacing or diameter appears to be slightly different than the skillet pins that are supposed to go into them. We have not used it so I cannot comment on its performance. Update December 29, 2014 - We have used this with our B3000 skillet for 3+ years and it has worked without a problem. The heater's fit into the skillet has loosened up and is now tight but not difficult to insert; I guess it needed a "break-in" period. I have raised my rating to 4 stars.

I was searching for a while on that Auction Site for the model #100 and all that was available were old used controls that were 3-4 times the price of this control and you had no idea how much longer life they had. When I stumbled on these I was elated. A brand new control that would fit my Farberware pan. At the time I ordered, I was actually headed from my New York home to my Florida home for vacation, so I had it shipped there. I also have a Farberware pan in my Florida home that was handed down to me from my Aunt Josie. That pan uses model #101 control, and I remembered that that control was on the way out as well. When this arrived, I figured I would try to see if it fit and sure enough it fit for the model #101 I had been using. I threw the old one out and quickly reordered another for my New York pan. When the second one arrived at my New York home I tried it and it works, but is extremely tight to put in. I did remember that a reviewer stated that after frequent uses, the control goes in more smoothly, and that is indeed the case. A GREAT REPLACEMENT FOR BOTH MY PANS!!!
