Possible Causes

Mis-calibrated temperature sensor, Firmware bug in keep-warm control, Poor heat distribution due to warped pot, Residual high heat from previous cycle not accounted for

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the cooker before internal inspection.

  • Use shorter keep-warm times: Manually turn off keep warm after 30–60 minutes to prevent overcooking.
  • Add liquid: Leave a small amount of extra liquid in the pot when using keep warm.
  • Check pot and plate: Ensure the inner pot is not warped and the heating plate is clean for even heat.
  • Sensor replacement: If keep warm is excessively hot regardless of load, replace the bottom temperature sensor and, if needed, the control board.
