This is typically the result of inadvertently locking the wheel, as described on p. 42 of the 60D manual.

In the last two weeks I had my thumbwheel not respond in Tv or Av mode twice. After getting home from the races I attended I tried it and it worked both times. I left the camera on at home for over three hrs last night thinking maybe it was getting warm and causing the problem. So far it has been working perfectly. Has anyone else had this happen?

Lemming51 - Your advice is spot on for the 60D. However, the title of this thread states that the camera in question is a 600D, which does not have a "Thumbwheel", only the Main Dial and Cross Keys, so this post is a little confusing as to what is the camera and what is the problem?

YSrcflyer - Which camera do you have: 60D or 600D? Did you mean to say that the problem is with the "Main Dial" on a 600D?

When you get down to the nuts and bolts of photography, the results depend on the 'nut' behind the camera!
