Kenwood Incorrect Temperature / Pressure Sensing

Programs end too early; food is undercooked even though the timer completed.

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 reading too high, Pressure sensor misreading, Steam leakage reducing actual cooking temperature, Firmware calibration issue

Safety first: Allow pressure to release naturally before opening to check food.

Seal check: Inspect lid gasket, float valve, and steam release valve for leaks. Replace worn parts.
Water test: Run a pressure program with water and observe if full pressure is reached (float valve up, minimal steam leakage).
Recipe adjustment: Temporarily increase cooking times to compensate while diagnosing.

If sealing is good but undercooking persists, the temperature or pressure sensor may be out of calibration and require replacement.
