I have had a WMR-968 weather station for the last 7 years and have never had any problems with this probe, all I have had to do is change the batteries every couple of years.
Interesting reading that others have had to replace sensors. Mine have been running 5 years with no failures except battery replacements.I love my wireless station and would recommend it to my friends.
I found this system to be reliable, amazingly resiliant and definitely something I would not only recommend but would purchase again. I love knowing what the temperature/humidity is indoors and it varys greatly at times. I bought additional indoor wireless sensors and they were easily added to the system (I have a total of three indoor and one outdoor). Knowing what the weather is like outside, right outside my door, not 5 or more miles away, is wonderful. I've had the Oregon Scientific Professional Weather Station for 6+ years (model WMR968) and I love it. I have had the thermometer/hygrometer sensor fail but it was easily replaced. The system lets me make appropriate adjustments to ensure our indoor conditions are comfortable.
This item failed within warranty; however, I have been informed that it has been "discontinued" and no allowance or compensation is available. WMR-968 / WMR-918 / WMR-112A Outdoor Thermometer/Hygrometer w/Solar Transmitter. Sail clear of this company.
I will not however, choose this company's products in the future. There are serious reliability issues with this system. In addition, when trying to find a replacement, it is usually "out of stock" for 2 to 3 months. When it works it's great. This sensor performs the key functions of the WMR968 remote weather sensing system. I have had this system for three years and have had to replace this sensor annually, just after the warrenty would expire. I now keep a new sensor in reserve to avoid long down times.
