Possible Causes

Mis-calibrated temperature sensor, Firmware bug in Keep Warm mode, Poor thermal contact between pot and sensor, Using non-original inner pot

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug before cleaning or internal inspection.

Step-by-step checks:

  • 1. Use original pot: Ensure you are using the original Saturn inner pot for accurate temperature sensing.
  • 2. Clean sensor area: Clean the heating plate and bottom of the pot to ensure good thermal contact.
  • 3. Reduce Keep Warm time: Manually turn off Keep Warm after a shorter period to prevent overcooking.
  • 4. Test with water: Run Keep Warm with water only and measure temperature with a kitchen thermometer. If it is significantly above typical keep-warm temperatures (~60–75°C), the control system may be faulty.

Recommendation: Overheating in Keep Warm mode usually requires sensor or control board replacement.
