Possible Causes
Firmware calibration issue, NTC sensor reading too low, Poor thermal contact causing overshoot, Stuck relay keeping heater on too long
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug before internal inspection.
- Measure keep-warm temperature: Place water and a thermometer in the pot, run keep‑warm, and verify the temperature (should typically be around 60–75°C).
- Check sensor mounting: Ensure the NTC sensor is firmly attached to the heating plate for accurate readings.
- Inspect relay: On the PCB, check the heater relay for signs of sticking (burn marks, melted case). Replace the board or relay if it does not switch cleanly.
- Interim workaround: Until repaired, manually switch off keep‑warm after cooking to avoid overheating.
Warning: Overheating in keep‑warm can be a fire risk if left unattended for long periods.
