Possible Causes
Incorrect temperature calibration, Faulty bottom temperature sensor, Control board firmware issue, Poor heat distribution due to warped inner pot
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the cooker before cleaning or inspection.
- Stir and add liquid: When using Keep Warm, stir food occasionally and add a small amount of liquid to prevent sticking.
- Check inner pot: Replace a warped or thin aftermarket pot with an original Instant inner pot for proper heat distribution.
- Test with water: Run Keep Warm with only water and measure temperature with a cooking thermometer. If it is significantly above safe holding temperatures, the sensor or control board may be faulty.
- Component replacement: A technician can replace the bottom temperature sensor or main control board if Keep Warm consistently overheats.
