Possible Causes
Weak heating element, NTC sensor reading too high, Faulty keep-warm control circuit, Poor lid sealing allowing heat loss
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Allow the cooker to cool before internal checks.
- Check lid and ring: Ensure the lid closes properly and the sealing ring is in good condition to retain heat.
- Measure temperature: Use a thermometer to verify actual keep‑warm temperature; if far below spec, suspect heater or control issues.
- Test heater: Measure heater resistance and compare to spec; replace if significantly off.
- Board diagnosis: If heater and sensors are fine, the control board's keep‑warm circuit may be faulty and require replacement.
Warning: For food safety, do not rely on a malfunctioning keep‑warm; discard food that has been kept at unsafe temperatures.
