My Nest temperature sensor is consistently showing -337 degrees F. I have pulled the battery, checked the connection, etc. and it's still showing -337.
Any advice?

One of the temperature thermistors has shorted out. The Nest Thermostat will need to be replaced.

Hi mrbrownskie,
I just wanted to jump in real fast to see if you saw CoolingWizard's reply and to see if you still needed some help on this or if you were able to get it sorted out. If you are still needing some help, just let us know and we'll be happy to continue helping.
Thanks,

Thanks. Wound up just buying a new unit... bummer. Not sure how something with no moving parts breaks but it is what it is. At least it's not too expensive to replace.

Hi again, brownskie.
I just wanted to touch base to see if everything was working well for you after purchasing the new unit. If you're all set, we can mark this as resolved, but let me know if you have any additional questions or needs.
Thanks,
Jeff

Mrbrownskie, sometimes the electrical thermistors can go bad. We see this in the HVAC world from time to time. A Thermistor is an electrical resistive device that is very precise. The resistance changes with temperature and from time to time resistive element will short out.
Here is wishing you much happiness with your newest Nest Learning Thermostat.
