Possible Causes

Loose power cord connection, Faulty outlet, Internal loose wiring, Failing power supply on control board

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the cooker before checking the cord or internal wiring.

  • Secure cord connection: Ensure the power cord is fully inserted into both the cooker (if detachable) and the wall outlet.
  • Try different outlet: Use a dedicated wall outlet without extension cords or power strips.
  • Inspect cord: Look for signs of damage or overheating on the cord and plug. Replace if any defects are found.
  • Internal wiring (advanced): Remove the bottom cover and gently tug on wire connectors to ensure they are firmly seated on the control board and heater.
  • Service if unresolved: Persistent flickering may indicate a failing power supply circuit on the control board, requiring replacement.
