How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Avoid leaving food unattended on Keep Warm until the issue is resolved.
- 1. Reduce Keep Warm time: Manually turn off Keep Warm after cooking and store food appropriately.
- 2. Check pot and sensor contact: Ensure the inner pot bottom is flat and clean, and the heating plate/sensor area is free of debris.
- 3. Test with water: Run Keep Warm with only water and monitor temperature with a food thermometer. If it climbs excessively high, the control system is faulty.
- 4. Professional repair: A technician can test the temperature sensor and replace the sensor or PCB if regulation is out of spec.
