Possible Causes

Loose power cord connection, Failing internal power supply capacitor, Shared circuit overloaded in household wiring

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the cooker before inspecting the cord or internal components.

  • Dedicated outlet: Plug the cooker into a dedicated wall outlet without other high-power appliances on the same circuit.
  • Inspect cord: Check for damage and ensure a snug fit in the outlet.
  • Internal check (advanced): Remove the base and inspect the main board for bulging or leaking capacitors in the power supply section.
  • Test: After reassembly, run a simple cycle and observe the display. If flickering persists with a good outlet, the internal power supply is likely failing.
  • Replacement: Replace the main control board if power supply components are defective.
