How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the cooker before any inspection. Do not repeatedly power-cycle if there is a burning smell or visible damage.
- Power reset: Unplug the unit for at least 15 minutes. Plug into a known-good outlet (avoid power strips) and try again.
- Check for other indicators: Note any additional icons or beeps that accompany the Err message; consult the user manual for model-specific meanings.
- Inspect for damage: Remove the bottom cover and visually inspect the main control board for burned components, bulging capacitors, or melted connectors.
- Check wiring harnesses: Ensure all sensor and heater connectors are firmly seated on the board. A disconnected sensor can sometimes trigger a generic error.
- Test basic functions: If Err clears after reset, run a simple warm or sauté cycle with water and monitor for recurrence.
- Replacement: Persistent Err messages with no obvious external cause usually indicate a failed main control board. Replacement should be performed by a qualified technician or through an authorized service center.
