Possible Causes
Weak heater element, Faulty temperature sensor reading low, Poor contact between pot and heater, Low mains voltage
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug before internal checks.
- Verify mains voltage: If possible, measure outlet voltage; very low voltage can reduce heating performance.
- Check pot and heater contact: Ensure the pot bottom is clean and flat, and the heater plate is free of debris.
- Test different programs: Compare performance on rice, soup, and sauté modes. If all are weak, suspect the heater or sensor.
- Internal inspection (advanced): Check heater wiring and terminals for signs of overheating or loose connections.
- If heating remains weak, replace the main heater element and inspect the NTC sensor for calibration issues.
