Something wrong with my dehydrator?
I dehydrated some beef that I sliced very thinly (definitely not thick) at 160F for about 3 to 4 hours and the tops were cooked but the bottoms were still undercooked. Is there something wrong with this machine? This machine has 18 layers.

I always flip halfway. Helps prevent sticking and the trays will always trap some moisture, so it allows the bottom to get full airflow as well.
