Kenmore Insulation / Thermal Shield Degradation

Exterior of the multicooker becomes excessively hot to the touch during normal 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

Damaged internal thermal insulation, Gaps between inner pot and housing, Overheating heating element, Missing internal heat shield

Safety first: Avoid touching hot surfaces; use handles only. Unplug and cool before inspection.

Check placement: Ensure adequate clearance around the cooker for ventilation.
Inspect for damage (advanced): Remove the outer shell and inspect internal insulation and heat shields for displacement or damage.

If insulation is missing or burned, replace the thermal insulation or affected internal panels to restore safe operation.
