ETA Mechanical Vibration / Loose Components

Unusual rattling, clicking, or buzzing noises from the base during operation.

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

Loose heating plate mounting screws, Loose internal fan or bracket, Warped inner pot causing uneven contact, Foreign object trapped under pot

Safety first: Unplug and allow the cooker to cool before inspection.

Check for foreign objects: Remove the inner pot and inspect the heating plate area for utensils, grains, or debris.
Inspect pot base: Ensure the pot base is flat and not rocking. Replace if warped.
Internal check (advanced): Remove the bottom cover and tighten any loose screws on the heating plate, fan, or brackets.

When to call a technician: Persistent mechanical noise may indicate a failing fan or structural issue that should be serviced professionally.
