Hi, no matter the temperature I set on the SV, the temperature keeps rising until 211F. What should do? I tested the temperature with a thermometer and it is accurate, it really reaches that temperature. Please help. Thanks! ---

For the best help available contact SUPPORT. COMMUNITY is just users like you. Your Anova presents signs of thermostat or controler failure. More details would be helpful. Is it a new machine? Was it recently operating satisfactorily? Was it used for a high temperature cook and a long duration? If so, water vapour may have affected the electronic controls. To attempt a fix, disconnect the machine, allow it to cool and dry for at least a day. Some users with similar problems have found that by placing Anova in a sealed bag with raw rice or silica gel packs will remove the dampness in a few days. Did your Anova fall into the water? Then you may be beyond help. ---

I have exact the same problem since Christmas. I did none of the things chatnoir suggested. Just contacted customer support… ---

I had the same problem and it turned the temperature sensor was dirty. I was just rinsing the unit under the tap and never opened the metal casing. After cleaning the sensor it went back to normal. ---

HI Tomasz, how you cleaning up the sensor of your SV? I have the anova precision cook. I have the same problem as you did. I set the temperature to cook but my SV doesn’t keep it, rising up indefinitly. Thank you for your help. Regards Marco. ---

Hi Marco, you can unscrew the whole big metal cover and expose the heating element, propeller and temperature sensor. In my case, there was a bit of the dark residue on the sensor rod and I just washed it off. Apparently, this is something that needs to be done from time to time, and I would totally know it if I read the manual 🙂 Cheers!
