How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the cooker immediately if a spill has occurred. Do not use until fully dry and inspected.
- Drying period: Leave the cooker unplugged in a warm, dry place for at least 24–48 hours to allow internal moisture to evaporate.
- Disassemble control panel: Remove the front control panel and inspect the keypad and display PCB for signs of liquid ingress, corrosion, or residue.
- Clean PCB: If minor residue is present, clean the board with isopropyl alcohol and a soft brush, then allow to dry completely.
- Inspect connectors: Check all connectors for corrosion or greenish deposits. Clean or replace as necessary.
- Replace damaged boards: If tracks are corroded or components are burnt, replace the affected control or display PCB. Only reassemble and power on once everything is completely dry.
