Probe thermometers are now quite cheap.

Many other places sell that same sort of item.

The wire to the probe is thin enough to go into the *top* of the front
seal.
I would do it with the washer running but **EMPTY**

Mine gets used for all sorts of temperature measurements, including
cooking.

Cheers, I'd worry about that causing problems with the door seal?
