Possible Causes

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.
