Possible Causes

Shorted NTC thermistor, Moisture or condensation inside sensor connector, Melted or chafed sensor wiring touching chassis, Failed main control board input circuit

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the cooker and let it cool fully. Do not attempt to operate with the cover removed.

  • Dry the unit: If the cooker was recently overfilled or boiled over, moisture may have entered the base. Remove the inner pot, wipe any visible moisture, and leave the cooker unplugged in a dry, warm area for 24 hours. Then test again.
  • Inspect sensor wiring: Remove the bottom cover. Trace the two-wire harness from the bottom NTC sensor to the control board. Look for melted insulation, crushed wires, or spots where the wires may be touching the metal chassis and causing a short.
  • Separate and insulate: If wires are stuck together or bare, separate them and wrap with high-temperature electrical tape or replace the harness.
  • Check connector for moisture: Disconnect the sensor plug from the PCB, inspect for moisture or corrosion, dry thoroughly, and reconnect.
  • Re-test: Reassemble and run a short cycle. If E2 remains, the NTC sensor or the control board input is likely defective and should be replaced.
  • Professional help: If you are not experienced with electrical measurements or suspect a board failure, contact a service technician rather than attempting board-level repair.
