Possible Causes

User accidentally entered calibration mode, Firmware glitch, Corrupted calibration data in control board

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug before extended troubleshooting.

  • Exit calibration: Refer to the user manual for your specific Fellow model. Typically, holding the main knob or a combination of buttons for several seconds will exit calibration mode.
  • Factory reset: If available, perform a factory reset sequence (often involves holding the control knob while plugging in, then following on-screen prompts).
  • Do not change calibration blindly: Incorrect calibration can cause unsafe temperatures. If you accidentally altered calibration values, restore factory defaults.
  • If CAL reappears or temperatures are inaccurate: The control PCB may need reprogramming or replacement. Contact Fellow support for model-specific instructions.
