Programs end too early; food is undercooked even though the timer completes.
Safety Warning
This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.
If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.
Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Ensure food is safe to eat; if undercooked, continue cooking using a safe method.
- Check for steam leaks: Observe the cooker during operation for leaks around the lid or valve. Fix gasket or valve issues if present.
- Use recommended water amount: Too little liquid can cause rapid temperature rise and premature switching.
- Test with water only: Run a pressure program with water and check if full pressure is reached and maintained (steady, controlled steam).
If the cooker consistently undercooks despite correct sealing and recipes, sensor calibration or control logic may be faulty and require service.
