Possible Causes
Firmware glitch, Button stuck on keypad, Corrupted program memory, Inconsistent sensor readings at startup
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the cooker before cleaning the keypad or opening the housing.
- Full reset: Unplug the unit for at least 10 minutes to allow capacitors to discharge. Plug back in and try a basic program.
- Check for stuck buttons: Press each button on the control panel several times. If any button feels stuck or does not click, clean around it with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid letting moisture enter the panel.
- Clean panel surface: Remove grease or residue that may be causing false touches on touch-sensitive panels.
- Test different modes: Try multiple programs (rice, steam, slow cook). If "Err" appears only on one mode, that mode's configuration or sensor may be at fault.
- Inspect internal ribbon cable: If accessible, reseat the ribbon cable between the keypad/display board and the main control board.
- Board replacement: Persistent generic error after resets usually indicates a failing control board that should be replaced.
