Please make this steps for test for fix it. God bless you
- Unplug the unit from the electrical outlet.
- For appliances with a removable cord, use contact cleaner, fine
sandpaper, a small file or emery board, or a brass brush to carefully
clean the terminal pins located where the cord connects to the
appliance.
- Remove screws and/or clips to access controls on the unit or the
removable cord. Clean the controls with contact cleaner, sandpaper, or
file, being careful not to damage them or loosen parts
- Remove screws and/or clips to access the heating elements. Use a multimeter to test for continuity and replace any faulty element.
- To adjust the heat control, follow the steps below.
- To service the heat control, follow the steps below.
Adjust the heat control:
- Use a candy thermometer to verify the appliance's actual heat
against its indicated heat. If the cooking appliance cooks with liquids
(fry pan, wok, etc.), add water to the half-mark to test.
- Adjust the heat indicator on the control or adjust the
temperature-adjustment screw (if available) to match the unit's actual
heat.
- Recheck the actual temperature against the indicated temperature and readjust as needed.
Service the heat control:
- Unplug the control and open the housing. Set a multimeter on RX1
(resistance times 1) and touch the thermostat terminals with the probes.
In the on position, the meter should read near zero ohms.
- Clean any contacts to remove food or corrosion, then polish with
fine sandpaper or steel wool. If the contacts have only a little debris,
use contact cleaner.
- If the heat control still doesn't work correctly, replace it with an exact replacement part
