Possible Causes

Weak heating element, Miscalibrated temperature sensor, Poor contact between pot and heater, Incorrect program selection

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug before internal checks.

  • Verify program and quantity: Ensure you are using the correct Daewoo program for the food type and not overloading the pot.
  • Check pot contact: Clean the pot bottom and heater plate. Ensure the pot is not warped.
  • Test with water: Run a boil test with 2 cups of water on a high-heat program and time how long it takes to reach a vigorous boil. Excessive time suggests weak heating.
  • Inspect sensor and heater: From the bottom, check that the NTC sensor and heater connections are secure.

If heating remains weak, the main heating element or temperature sensor may need replacement.
