Installed new heating element

Hey all,

So I ran a few brews through my chamber and it worked great but I decided to change my design a little. I replaced my previous heating element which was a 90W flood light bulb with a 60W ceramic heater. I am not reaching my temperature or the chamber is just not as responsive when heating. Can anyone give me a hand in adjusting my chamber settings?

Here are my settings:

From the settings above, it seems that your heater is 100% ON.
At least that’s what the software is trying to do at this moment.

Without a graph, there’s nothing I can tell you.
It could be that a high Td value causes it to stop heating early, but I cannot tell you based on the moment you copied the settings.
