How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the machine and allow it to cool before accessing the base.
- Check keep-warm setting: Ensure any keep-warm or temperature setting is enabled and not set to off.
- Inspect wiring (advanced): Remove the base and check for loose or burnt wires to the warming plate.
- Test element (advanced): Use a multimeter to measure resistance across the warming plate terminals. An open circuit indicates a failed element.
Replacing the warming plate or thermostat involves mains wiring and should be done by someone experienced with appliance repair.
