Why does my crêpe maker’s thermostat seem unresponsive?

Direct answer

If changing the thermostat does not seem to alter the cooking result, check whether the control is set within its normal range and whether the appliance has had time to react to the new setting.

Diagnostic steps

1. Turn the thermostat slowly to a different position.
2. Wait for the appliance to adjust before starting a new crêpe.
3. Compare the result at a lower and a higher setting.
4. Make sure the plate is clean, as residue can mask the effect of the control.

Expected result

You should notice a change in cooking speed or browning when the thermostat position changes.

When to stop

Stop if the control feels loose, jammed or turns with no resistance at all.

When to contact support

Contact support if the thermostat appears to have no effect after testing on more than one setting.
