Cuisinart Temperature Regulation Failure

Smoker overshoots set temperature and runs too hot, even at low settings.

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

Misreading cabinet temperature sensor, Sensor not in proper location, Stuck heating relay on control board

Safety first: Unplug the smoker if it is overheating.

Verify with external thermometer: Place an oven thermometer inside to confirm actual temperature versus display.
Inspect sensor placement: Ensure the sensor is mounted in the correct factory location and not touching the element or metal walls.
Clean sensor: Remove heavy grease buildup from the sensor tip.
Replace sensor or board: If overshoot persists, replace the cabinet sensor first. If still faulty, replace the main control board whose relay may be sticking.
