How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Use a food thermometer to verify temperatures; avoid leaving food in the danger zone for long periods.

  • Confirm settings: Ensure you are using the correct Slow Cook setting (High vs Low) per the Aroma manual.
  • Test with water: Run a Slow Cook cycle with water only and measure temperature after 2 hours. It should be hot (above 85°C / 185°F) on High.
  • Check lid seal: Make sure the lid is closed to retain heat.
  • Inspect sensor and heater: If temperatures are low, inspect the bottom sensor and heating element for faults and replace as needed.
