How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Do not repeatedly reset a tripping breaker. Unplug the cooker immediately.
- Inspect cord and plug: Look for visible damage, burns, or deformation. Do not use if damaged.
- Check for moisture: If the cooker was exposed to spills or immersion, allow it to dry for several days in a warm, dry place (unplugged).
- Test other appliances: Confirm the outlet and breaker are functioning normally with another device.
