How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Ensure your hands are dry when handling plugs or outlets.

  • Reset power: Press any key to clear PF (if supported) or unplug the unit for 1 minute and plug back in.
  • Check outlet and breaker: Verify the outlet has power and the circuit breaker is not tripped. Avoid sharing the circuit with high‑draw appliances.
  • Inspect cord: Examine the power cord for cuts, burns, or loose prongs. Replace the cord set if damaged.
  • Secure plug: Make sure the plug fits snugly in the outlet. If it is loose, use a different outlet or have the receptacle replaced by an electrician.
  • Re-test: Start a short cook cycle and monitor for further PF errors. If they recur frequently without household power issues, the internal power supply on the main control board may be unstable and the board should be replaced.
