Inner pot rocks or wobbles on the heating plate; uneven cooking or clicking noises occur.

Safety first: Unplug and cool the cooker before inspection.

• Check pot on flat surface: Place the inner pot on a countertop. If it rocks, the pot is warped and should be replaced.
• Inspect heating plate: Remove the inner pot and press the center of the plate. It should move smoothly and return. If it is tilted or stuck, inspect from underneath.
• Clean under plate: Remove the bottom cover and clear any debris around the spring mechanism.
• Replace warped parts: Replace the inner pot or heating plate assembly if they cannot be restored to flat alignment.
