What LOW TEMP
actually means.
The RTW tortilla warmers let you check drum temperature with the SET/TEMP button during preheat or normal running. If the drum is still under 100°F when you check, the display flashes LOW and TEMP instead of a number.

What to do when LOW TEMP shows on the commercial applianceKind of codeTemperature and alarms
The controller has seen a temperature outside the band it was set for and is saying so: a box above its alarm point, a fryer vat or an oven cavity that tripped its high-limit, or a dish machine rinse that never came up to heat. Often the cause sits outside the unit, such as a door left open during a delivery, a coil packed with grease, a kitchen far hotter than the maker allows or a booster fed cold water. Checking the door, the coil and the air around the unit is fair; move the product if a cold box stays above 41°F, and book the visit.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Star's own guidance for LOW TEMP on its commercial appliances. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
If the unit has just been switched on, let the preheat run; LOW TEMP is expected early in the warm-up.
Look for the small dot at the lower right of the screen, which Star uses to show the heaters are on.
If LOW TEMP still shows well after preheat, or the heater dot never lights, book a visit for the heaters and control.

What not to do
LOW TEMP is a temperature reading below a threshold, not a stored alarm. It is different from PREHT, which is the preheat message the warmer shows on its own.
