Black+Decker Low Temperature in Slow Cook Mode

Slow Cook mode never reaches a simmer; food remains undercooked after the expected time.

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

Incorrect mode or setting selected, Faulty temperature sensor reading high, Weak heating element, Poor contact between pot and heater plate

Safety first: Verify food safety by checking internal temperatures, especially for meats.

Confirm settings: Ensure you are using the correct Slow Cook High or Low setting as recommended in the manual.
Check pot contact: Make sure the inner pot is seated properly and not warped.
Test other modes: Try a Rice or Sauté mode to see if the unit can reach higher temperatures. If all modes are weak, the heater may be failing.
Sensor/heater service: Persistent low temperatures indicate a sensor or heater issue that may require professional repair.
