How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the cooker before any inspection. Do not open the housing unless you are qualified to work with mains voltage.
- 1. Check outlet: Test the wall outlet with another appliance. Reset any tripped breaker or GFCI outlet.
- 2. Inspect power cord: Look for cuts, kinks, or burn marks. Try a different compatible Instant Pot power cord if available.
- 3. Verify cord seating: Ensure the detachable power cord (if applicable) is fully inserted into the cooker base and wall outlet.
- 4. Look for life signs: Gently press buttons and observe for any faint lights or sounds. Total silence suggests internal fuse or PCB failure.
- 5. Professional service: A technician can open the base, test the internal fuse, power inlet, and main control board, and replace the failed component.
