6. Dépannage
If the appliance is not maintaining the correct temperature or exhibiting unusual behavior, consider the following troubleshooting steps:
| Symptôme | Cause possible | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Appliance not heating or overheating. | Faulty temperature sensor, incorrect wiring, controller failure, or heating element failure. | Check sensor connections and resistance. Verify wiring against diagram. If issues persist, consult a qualified technician. |
| Régulation de température incohérente. | Sensor placement issue, environmental factors, or controller calibration drift. | Ensure sensor is correctly placed and not affected by drafts. Consult appliance service manual for calibration procedures. |
| La manette ne s'allume pas. | No power supply, loose connections, or internal controller fault. | Check main power supply and circuit breaker. Verify all power connections to the controller. |
For complex issues or if troubleshooting steps do not resolve the problem, contact a certified service technician.
