Possible Causes

Blown internal fuse, Faulty power cord, Failed main control board power supply, Loose power inlet connections

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the cooker before any disassembly. Do not attempt repairs if you are not comfortable working with mains voltage.

  • Check outlet: Test the wall outlet with another appliance to confirm power is present.
  • Inspect power cord: Look for visible damage. Try a different compatible cord if the model uses a detachable cord.
  • Check inlet fit: Ensure the cord is fully seated in the cooker inlet.
  • Internal fuse (advanced): Remove the bottom cover and locate the inline or PCB-mounted fuse. Test with a multimeter; replace only with the same rating if blown.

If the fuse blows again immediately or the board shows burn marks, the main control board or heater circuit is likely shorted and should be replaced by a technician.
