Why does my Wells MOD500 Food Warmer keep tripping the circuit breaker?
Your Wells Food Warmer might be tripping the circuit breaker due to several reasons: wet insulation, pan leaking, or other internal damage.

Why is my Wells MOD500 Food Warmer heating up slowly?
If your Wells Food Warmer is slow to heat, it could be due to mineral deposits on the pan acting as an insulator, or it might be wired to the wrong voltage. Try cleaning the pans with a delime cleaner. Also, verify that the supply voltage matches the voltage on the warmer's nameplate.

For a bad probe or other internal damage, it's best to contact your Authorized Wells Service Agency for repairs.
Why won't my Wells MOD500 Food Warmer drain-equipped unit hold water?
