Possible Causes
Partially open heating element, Loose heater wiring connection, Faulty temperature sensor causing early cutoff, Control board not driving heater at full power
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug and allow the cooker to cool before inspecting.
- Test with water: Add 4 cups of water and start a high-heat program (e.g., sauté). Water should begin to simmer within 5–10 minutes. If not, heating is weak.
- Check power source: Avoid long extension cords or power strips that may limit current. Plug directly into a wall outlet.
- Inspect bottom plate: Remove the inner pot and check the heater plate for warping or discoloration, which can indicate damage.
Weak heating usually indicates a failing element or control board. These components should be tested and replaced by a technician.
