Hamilton Beach Keep Warm Temperature Too High

Keep Warm mode overheats food, causing it to dry out or burn.

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

Firmware calibration issue, Faulty temperature sensor reading low, Poor thermal contact between pot and plate, Warped inner pot

Safety first: Unplug before internal checks.

Use less time on Warm: Manually reduce the time food stays on Keep Warm, or turn it off when not needed.
Check pot and plate: Ensure the inner pot and heating plate are clean and flat.
Replace inner pot: If the pot is warped, replace it with a genuine Hamilton Beach inner pot.
Sensor replacement: If overheating persists, replace the bottom temperature sensor (NTC). If that fails to correct it, the main control PCB may need replacement.
