Bella Low-Temperature Underheating

Slow Cook mode never reaches a simmer; food remains undercooked even after long times.

Safety Warning

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Faulty bottom temperature sensor reading too high, Control board limiting power incorrectly, Poor contact between pot and heating plate, Incorrect voltage supply (low line voltage)

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug before internal checks.

Verify settings: Ensure you are using 'High' slow cook if the recipe requires it.
Check pot contact and fill: Make sure the pot is properly seated and not underfilled; very small quantities may not heat evenly.
Test other modes: If pressure and sauté modes also seem weak, suspect a sensor or control board issue.
Replace sensor/control board: If underheating persists across modes, replace the bottom NTC sensor first; if no improvement, replace the main control board.
