How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power before removing the control panel.

  • Check knob: Remove the temperature knob and ensure the flat on the shaft is not stripped. Replace the knob if it does not grip properly.
  • Access temperature control: Remove the control panel to expose the temperature potentiometer or encoder.
  • Inspect and test: Check for cracked housing or loose terminals. Measure resistance while turning the shaft; it should change smoothly without sudden jumps.
  • Replace component: If readings are erratic or open, replace the temperature selector potentiometer / encoder.
