Multicooker beeps and shows E2 when starting a cooking program; heating does not begin.

Safety first: Disconnect the appliance from mains power before any inspection. Allow the lid to cool.

• Check for visible cable damage: Inspect the hinge area where the lid wiring passes into the body. Look for pinched, cut, or frayed wires.
• Clean connectors (external): If your model has a visible plug connection at the lid hinge, ensure it is fully seated and free of moisture or food residue. Wipe gently with a dry cloth.
• Power reset: Leave the unit unplugged for 10 minutes, then reconnect and test a low-temperature program. If E2 reappears immediately, the sensor circuit is likely faulty.
• Do not bypass the sensor: Never short or bridge sensor wires; this can cause overheating and fire risk.

Diagnosis of the NTC sensor and wiring requires a multimeter and opening the lid assembly. This is best done by a De'Longhi-authorized technician who can replace the lid temperature sensor or harness if needed.
