How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the cooker before any further steps.
- Basic reset: Leave the cooker unplugged for 15 minutes, then reconnect and attempt to enter a simple program like WARM or RICE.
- Check lid and pot: Ensure the inner pot is correctly installed and the lid is fully closed and locked. Some models will show a generic error if lid or pot detection fails.
- Inspect wiring: If the unit was recently serviced, open the base and verify that all connectors (heater, NTC sensor, pressure sensor, lid switch) are plugged into the correct sockets and not reversed.
- Look for shorts: Examine wiring harnesses for pinched or exposed wires touching the metal chassis. Repair or replace damaged harnesses.
- Service center: If 'Err' persists with no obvious hardware fault, the main control PCB firmware may be corrupted and should be reprogrammed or replaced by an authorized Binatone service center.
