Oregon Scientific WMR 200 outdoor temp sensor died

Post by Corniit »

Hello All,

After bit over one year of use the outdoor temperature & humidity sensor stopped working (type THGN 801) and after I checked that it is not powering issue opened it and measured capacitors. Some of them were completely dead so I changed them (Electrolytic capacitor 16V 10µf, 3pcs) it worked again.

So if anyone is facing faulty sensor after a while it might be dried out capacitors. It costs next to nothing to change them and they are easy to replace. This might apply to other sensors too.
