How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Do not repeatedly reset the breaker. Unplug the cooker immediately.
- Check cord: Inspect the power cord for cuts or crushed sections. Replace if damaged.
- Dry thoroughly: If liquid may have entered the base, allow the cooker to dry for at least 48 hours before testing again.
- Advanced inspection: With the base open, look for burn marks, melted insulation, or obvious shorts. Do not touch live parts.
- Professional repair: Because this involves safety-critical mains wiring, have a qualified technician diagnose and replace the faulty heater, wiring, or board.
