PowerXL Temperature Regulation / Thermostat Control Fault

Multicooker heats but never reaches or maintains set temperature in non-pressure modes (e.g., slow cook, sauté).

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

Misreading bottom temperature sensor, Poor contact between pot and heating plate, Firmware calibration drift, Faulty control board triac control

Safety first: Unplug and cool the unit before inspection.

1. Check pot contact: Ensure the inner pot bottom is flat and clean. Replace a warped pot.
2. Clean heating plate: Remove any residue from the plate to improve thermal transfer.
3. Sensor test: Test the bottom temperature sensor as described under E1/E2. Replace if readings are unstable.
4. Control board replacement: If the sensor and pot are good but temperature control is erratic, replace the main control board.
