Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug and cool the cooker before inspecting the interior.
- Remove and inspect pot: Take out the inner pot and check the bottom for dents or warping. It should be flat.
- Check for debris: Look for grains of rice, beans, or other debris on the heater plate. Wipe clean with a soft cloth.
- Reseat pot: Place the pot back in and rotate it gently to ensure smooth contact with the heater plate.
- Observe mounting: If the heater plate visibly moves or rattles when pressed, internal mounting screws may be loose.
- When to service: Occasional light clicks from expansion are normal, but loud metallic clanks or grinding suggest loose internal parts. Have a technician inspect the heater plate mounting.
