Possible Causes

Damaged microcontroller on main PCB, Burned sensor input circuitry, Power surge damage to control board, Internal short on PCB

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the cooker. Do not attempt to operate if you smell burning or see smoke.

  • Power cycle: Leave the unit unplugged for 30 minutes, then plug back in and test. If E7 appears immediately, the fault is likely permanent.
  • Visual inspection: Remove the outer housing to access the control board. Look for burnt components, darkened areas, or bulging capacitors.
  • Check connectors: Reseat all connectors to the board (sensor, heater, power input, display) to rule out a poor connection.
  • Surge damage signs: If the error started right after a storm or tripped breaker, the board is likely damaged beyond simple repair.
  • Replace control board: The practical fix is to replace the main control PCB with a compatible Aroma board. Transfer each connector one at a time to avoid miswiring.
  • Do not bypass safety circuits: Never jumper around sensors or fuses to clear E7; this can cause fire or electric shock.
