Display shows PF or flashes and the cooker stops mid-cycle.

Safety first: Ensure the cooker is unplugged before inspecting the power cord or internal components.

• Check outlet: Verify that the wall outlet has power by plugging in another appliance. Avoid using extension cords or power strips.
• Inspect power cord: Check the cord for cuts, kinks, or burn marks. Ensure it is firmly plugged into the cooker (if detachable) and the wall.
• Secure cord strain relief: Make sure the cord is not being pulled or twisted during operation, which can cause intermittent disconnection.
• Restart cycle: After stable power is confirmed, restart the cooking program. Some models will not automatically resume after PF.
• Internal inspection (advanced): If PF occurs frequently without household power issues, remove the base and inspect the main board for loose connectors or burnt components in the power supply section.
• Replacement: Persistent PF errors with a good outlet and cord indicate a failing main control board / power supply section, which should be replaced by a technician.
