How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the appliance before inspecting the lid mechanism.
- Check lid closure: Open and firmly close the lid, ensuring it clicks into place. Remove any food or utensils preventing full closure.
- Inspect latch and hooks: Look for cracked plastic hooks or bent metal parts on the lid and body.
- Test lid switch (advanced):
- Access the lid lock area by removing the top cover.
- Locate the microswitch or reed sensor and verify it actuates when the lid is closed.
- Check continuity with a multimeter; replace if faulty.
- Do not bypass: The lid switch prevents operation with the lid open. Do not tape or short it permanently.
