How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug immediately and do not continue using the appliance.
- Inspect interior: After cooling, check for any plastic utensils, packaging, or liners that may have contacted the heater and melted. Remove carefully.
- Check exterior: Look for discoloration or heat marks on the housing, especially near vents.
- Do not ignore: If the smell is clearly electrical (sharp, acrid) and not from food or plastic, internal components may be overheating.
