Possible Causes

Aging temperature sensor, Weak heating element, Faulty pressure sensor causing lower or higher actual pressure, Warped inner pot affecting heat transfer

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Use caution when testing with boiling water or under pressure.

  • Boil test: Add water to the inner pot and use a thermometer to check the boiling temperature in Sear/Sauté mode. Significant deviation from expected boiling point at your altitude may indicate temperature sensor issues.
  • Pressure test: Cook a known test food (e.g., white rice or beans) using Wolf Gourmet's recommended settings. If results are consistently off, note whether they are under- or overcooked.
  • Check inner pot condition: Replace a heavily scratched, warped, or discolored inner pot, as it can affect heat distribution.
  • Adjust recipes: As a temporary workaround, adjust cooking times slightly based on your observations.
  • Service for sensor issues: Persistent, large deviations suggest sensor or control board calibration problems that require professional diagnosis and part replacement.
