TROUBLESHOOTING
If the Hotplate does not function check the following points before calling for
service.
 The power is switched “on”, both on the unit and at any other point that supplies
power to the machine (eg an isolating switch on the wall).
 The mains power is not faulty.
 The temperature has been set correctly and the thermal cut-out has not tripped.
Refer to the “Thermal Cut-Out” section previous for more information on this
control.
 The thermostat knobs are not loose or broken, rendering the thermostats
inoperable.
 The circuit breakers located inside the lower section of the unit are all in the “on”
position”. These are located behind a cover panel
Symptom
Check
Probable Cause
All Power shut off
Is air still blowing out from
beneath the Display Panel?
Yes – Overtemp has cut out.
Allow to cool and turn the unit
off and then on again. May be
2nd fan failure of thermostat
failure.
No – Possible failure of
primary fan or on/off switch.
Plate takes too long to
heat/cook
Circuit breakers are all in the
ON position
If Circuit breakers have
tripped, possible element
failure – reset and operate as
normal, call for Service if the
circuit breaker trips again.
Grinding noise coming from
inside the unit
Does this sound like a fan
turning but being noisy?
Yes – monitor to see if this
gets worse. If the noise gets
worse it is a sign that a bearing
in the fan may be failing. It is
better to call for service before
the fan fails as failure of a
cooling fan will cause the
machine to overheat and shut
down.
