Possible Causes

Faulty NTC sensor reading low, Stuck heater relay, Thick food layer with insufficient stirring, Using non-original inner pot with poor heat distribution

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug before internal inspection.

  • Adjust recipes: Reduce cooking time or use a lower-pressure or slow-cook program for delicate foods.
  • Use correct pot: Ensure you are using the original Daewoo non-stick inner pot; some aftermarket pots can cause hot spots.
  • Stir thick foods: For sauces or stews, stir before starting and avoid very thick mixtures that can scorch.
  • Inspect sensor: Check that the bottom NTC sensor is firmly attached and not insulated by grease or residue.

If overcooking persists across programs, the NTC sensor or control PCB may be misreading temperature and should be replaced.
