Salter Keep Warm Temperature Too High

Keep Warm function overheats food, causing it to dry out or burn on the bottom.

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

Incorrect temperature calibration on PCB, NTC sensor mispositioned, Firmware bug in specific Salter model, Stuck heater relay

Safety first: Unplug and cool the cooker before inspection.

Check NTC placement: Ensure the bottom NTC sensor is firmly attached to the heating plate and not insulated by debris.
Avoid long holds: As a workaround, limit Keep Warm duration and add extra liquid to dishes prone to drying.
Firmware/PCB: If the issue is persistent and known for your model, Salter may recommend a PCB update or replacement.

Replacing or correctly mounting the NTC sensor and, if necessary, the control PCB can restore proper Keep Warm temperatures.
