Why are my Gold Medal 2404MD Kitchen Appliances popcorn cycles so long?
- JJason EllisonAug 2, 2025
Long popping cycles with your Gold Medal Kitchen Appliances, especially longer than 4 minutes for salt popcorn, can occur due to several reasons: * **Low Voltage:** The kettle may not be reaching the proper operating temperature due to low voltage. Consult a qualified electrician to check the voltage. * **Inadequate Supply Lines:** The kettle may not be reaching the proper operating temperature due to inadequately sized electrical supply lines or the use of an extension cord, which also poses a fire hazard. Consult a qualified electrician. * **Inferior Corn:** Using low-quality popcorn or allowing your corn to pick up moisture or dry out can slow down popping cycles. Use only top-quality hybrid popcorn from reputable suppliers.
