Often fixable at home · Fault type: Electrical/hardware

Safe checks, in order of likelihood

  1. Check the room is not unusually hot or cold (extremes can trip the sensor).
  2. Move the appliance away from a heat source such as an oven or radiator.
  3. Reset: unplug 2 minutes, wait 30 seconds, power back on.
