Multicooker displays E6 and stops heating or will not start a program.

Safety first: Unplug the unit and allow it to cool completely. Internal electrical checks should only be done by someone comfortable working with mains-powered appliances.

• Visual inspection: Remove the inner pot and inspect the heating plate for discoloration, cracks, or burn marks.
• Check for obvious wiring damage (if accessible): With the bottom cover removed (only if you are qualified and the unit is unplugged), look for burned connectors or loose wires at the heating element and thermal fuse.
• Do not bypass safety devices: Never bypass a thermal fuse or safety thermostat. If found open, it must be replaced with the correct Breville-rated part.
• Functional test: If no obvious damage is visible, the heating element or control board triac may be faulty. These require electrical testing with a multimeter and should generally be handled by a professional technician.
