Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Monitor closely to avoid fire risk.
User steps:
- Test at lower power levels (e.g., 50%) to see if control responds.
- Try different auto programs; if all modes overcook, control regulation is suspect.
Because this involves control electronics and sensors, a technician should test the power output and sensor feedback. Continued use may pose a fire hazard if power cannot be regulated correctly.
