Yeah, there's typically a piss-poor humidity sensor in there that tried to detect levels of moisture in the cavity. They used to be a small sponge and a heater, the heater would burn off the moisture and the sponge would pick it back up and change the resistance level presented to the microcontroller. Only certain brands worked because they had known moisture levels.
It was a hokey system at best. Just get a $15 air popper and make all the popped corns you want. It's better for you and you can add whatever you want to it.
