Troubleshooting
Yogurt not setting properly
Ensure the starter culture is fresh and active. Verify the milk was heated and cooled to the correct temperature before inoculation. Check that the yogurt maker is maintaining a consistent temperature and has been running for the recommended duration (usually 8-12 hours).
Unit not turning on
Check that the power cord is securely plugged into both the unit and a working power outlet. Ensure the illuminated on/off switch is in the 'on' position.
Jars are difficult to open/close
Ensure the screw caps are aligned correctly before turning. If they feel stiff, check for any residue or damage on the threads. Clean the caps and jar rims thoroughly.
Unusual smell during operation
This could indicate a cleaning issue. Unplug the unit, allow it to cool, and thoroughly clean the interior and the jars. Ensure no food residue remains.
