As in the following code:

(let ((var1 100))  ;; default value
  (when some_condition
    ;; new value
    (setq varl 200))
  (message "value: %d" varl))

Should use "var1", but write "varl" by typo.
If some_condition is non-nil, there will be no error and no warnning.

How to check these mistakes?

Have you tried to byte-compile that code?

Best,

I just tried. The warnning message told me what I want. Thank you.
