Possible Causes
Faulty temperature sensor reading low, Firmware bug in warm mode, Poor heat distribution due to warped pot, Food volume too low for warm setting
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Stir food carefully; hot spots can cause burns.
- Usage adjustment: Avoid leaving small quantities of food on keep-warm for long periods. Add a bit of water or sauce before warming.
- Check pot condition: Replace a warped or heavily scratched inner pot to improve heat distribution.
- Sensor check: Inspect and, if necessary, replace the bottom NTC sensor if it appears to under-read temperature.
- Monitor behavior: If the cooker clearly boils food in keep-warm mode, discontinue use of that function and seek board or firmware replacement.
