Possible Causes

Normal expansion of metal parts, Heater relay cycling on and off, Loose mounting screws on heating plate, Warped inner pot causing uneven contact

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the cooker before tightening any internal screws.

  • Differentiate normal vs abnormal: Occasional soft clicks are normal relay sounds. Very loud metallic pops may indicate loose parts.
  • Check pot seating: Ensure the inner pot sits flat and is not rocking.
  • Inspect heating plate mounting (advanced): Remove the bottom cover and gently tighten the screws securing the heating plate to the chassis.
  • Monitor operation: If noises persist but there is no burning smell or error codes, the sounds may be normal. If accompanied by errors or smells, have the unit inspected.
