Starfrit Low-Temperature Mode Overheating

Slow Cook mode boils vigorously instead of maintaining a gentle simmer.

Safety Warning

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Shared sensor calibration error affecting low-temp modes, Control board using incorrect profile, NTC sensor not reading accurately at lower temperatures

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Steps:

Confirm that you have selected the correct Slow Cook setting (Low vs High) according to the manual.
Use a food thermometer to measure liquid temperature during Slow Cook. If it is significantly above typical slow-cook range (around 85–95°C), a control or sensor issue is likely.
Inspect and, if necessary, replace the bottom NTC sensor.
If replacing the sensor does not correct the temperature, the main control board may need replacement or firmware update.
