PowerXL Program Logic / Sensor Misinterpretation

Unit immediately goes to “Keep Warm” without cooking when a program is selected.

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

Temperature sensor reading already at or above target, Firmware glitch, Stuck relay not energizing heater, Incorrect mode selection

Safety first: Unplug and cool the unit if it has been recently used.

1. Allow full cool-down: Let the cooker cool to room temperature, then retry the program with water.
2. Reset unit: Perform a power reset by unplugging for 10–15 minutes.
3. Sensor test: Check the bottom temperature sensor for correct resistance at room temperature. Replace if it reads abnormally low (indicating falsely high temperature).
4. Control board check: If the sensor is good, replace the main control board.
