Possible Causes

Burned-out stirrer motor, Stripped plastic gears, Food jammed around paddle shaft, Faulty motor driver on control PCB

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the cooker and ensure it is cool before handling the paddle.

  • Remove and clean paddle: Take out the stirring paddle and clean it thoroughly, including the shaft and socket in the pot.
  • Check for obstructions: Inspect the drive coupling in the base (if accessible) for food debris. Remove any blockage gently.
  • Test without food: Reinstall the paddle, add a small amount of water, and run a program that uses stirring. If the paddle still does not move, the motor or gears may be faulty.

Internal motor and gear repairs require disassembly of the base and should be done by a technician.
