Possible Causes
Miscalibrated temperature sensor, Firmware issue in control PCB, Damaged bottom sensor thermistor, Poor heat dissipation due to blocked vents
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Avoid leaving the cooker on Keep Warm for extended periods until the issue is resolved.
- Ventilation: Ensure side and bottom vents are not blocked so the unit can dissipate heat properly.
- Test with water: Run Keep Warm with only water in the pot and measure temperature with a kitchen thermometer. If it exceeds typical keep‑warm range (~60–75°C), there is a control issue.
- Check sensor: Inspect and test the bottom temperature sensor. Replace if readings are unstable or out of expected range.
- Replace PCB: If the sensor is good but temperatures remain too high, replace the control PCB to correct the regulation.
