Possible Causes
NTC temperature sensor out of calibration, Sensor not making good contact with heating plate, Faulty main control PCB, Inner pot nonstick coating damaged causing sticking and burning
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Allow the cooker to cool before handling the inner pot.
- Stir and add liquid: Ensure recipes have sufficient liquid and stir starchy foods before starting to prevent sticking.
- Inspect inner pot: Check the nonstick coating for scratches or peeling. Replace the pot if the coating is badly worn.
- Clean sensor area: Remove any burnt residue from the heating plate and pot bottom to restore proper heat transfer.
- Test low‑heat modes: Try a low‑temperature program (e.g., SLOW COOK) to see if overheating still occurs. If yes, the sensor or PCB is likely faulty.
- Service sensor/PCB (technician): Inspect the NTC sensor mounting and replace the sensor or main control PCB if temperature regulation is clearly incorrect.
