How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug and cool the unit before internal checks.
- Avoid overloading: Cook smaller batches to see if performance improves. Overloading can mimic underheating.
- Check basket fit: Ensure the basket drawer seals well against the housing with no large gaps.
- Test actual temperature: Use an oven thermometer placed in the basket to compare actual temperature to the set value. If significantly lower, inspect heater and sensor.
- Inspect heater and sensor: Replace a weak heater or drifting sensor as described in related entries.
