Possible Causes

Mispositioned or faulty NTC temperature sensor, Stuck heater relay, High-limit thermostat not opening at correct temperature, Control PCB temperature calibration error

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug and let the unit cool before inspection.

Steps to address overheating:

  • 1. Verify usage: Avoid overfilling the basket and always shake or turn food as recommended. Use recommended temperatures from the Granitestone manual.
  • 2. Inspect sensor placement: Access the NTC temperature sensor and ensure it is properly mounted away from direct radiant heat of the element, as designed.
  • 3. Check heater relay: If the heater stays on continuously without cycling, the heater relay may be stuck closed. Inspect the control PCB and replace if necessary.
  • 4. Replace faulty sensor or thermostat: If the unit runs too hot even at low settings, replace the NTC temperature sensor and, if present, the high-limit thermostat.
