Kenwood Keep-Warm Temperature Too High

Keep-warm function overheats food, causing it to dry out or burn around the edges.

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

Faulty NTC sensor near heater plate, Control board firmware or triac fault, Poor thermal contact between pot and heater plate

Safety first: Avoid leaving the cooker unattended on keep-warm until resolved.

Check pot contact: Ensure the inner pot base is clean and flat. Replace if warped.
Reduce keep-warm time: Manually switch off keep-warm after a shorter period to prevent overcooking.
Sensor inspection: Inspect the NTC sensor mounting on the heater plate for proper contact and no debris.

If keep-warm remains excessively hot, the sensor or control board may need replacement.
