Why your Carter-Hoffmann food warmer & holding cabinet is thermostat issue
Here's how thermostat issue typically presents on a Carter-Hoffmann food warmer & holding cabinet: temperature inaccurate, cycling abnormally. Bad thermostat or temperature sensor. On this platform it's most often a bad control board.
Most likely causes
- Failed temperature sensor

Quick check — and when it's not DIY
Start here — it costs nothing and rules out the easy cause: confirm the temperature setting itself, and give the unit 24 hours after any adjustment before assuming it's broken. Should that not clear it, a sensor that's confirmed inaccurate has to be replaced and recalibrated against the control board — guessing which part is at fault wastes a parts order.
