Timer counts down but the cooker does not heat; food remains uncooked.
Safety Warning
This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.
If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.
Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the cooker and allow it to cool before inspection.
- Check for warmth: During operation, carefully feel the outside of the cooker (without blocking vents). If it remains completely cold, the heater is not energizing.
- Test different modes: Try sauté and slow cook. If none produce heat, the heater circuit is likely open.
Heater circuit diagnosis involves live electrical testing and should be performed by a qualified technician. The heating element or control board may need replacement.
