Generic Control Error / Program Fault
Symptom
Burnt smell and food sticking heavily to the bottom of the pot; sometimes food burns before the program ends.
Localized Overheating / Poor Temperature Regulation
Symptom
Buttons or touch keys do not respond, or some keys work while others do not.
Keypad / Touch Panel Failure
Symptom
Clock or timer resets to default every time the cooker is unplugged or briefly loses power.
Non-Volatile Memory / Backup Power Loss
Symptom
Condensation or water accumulates under the cooker or on the worktop after cooking, but no obvious leaks from the pot.
Condensation Drain Misrouting
Symptom
Display and buttons work, but the cooker does not heat; food remains cold even after the timer counts down.
Heater Not Energizing
Symptom
Display is dim, flickering, or segments are missing, but cooking still works.
Display Module / Power Supply Degradation
Symptom
Excessive steam and hot water drip from the lid hinge area or side vents during normal cooking.
Condensation Management / Steam Path Issue
Symptom
Fan noise from inside the cooker is unusually loud or grinding during operation (on models with cooling fans).
Cooling Fan Wear or Obstruction
Symptom
Inner lid (removable plate) will not lock in place or falls out when opening the lid.
Inner Lid Retainer Failure
Symptom
Inner pot coating is peeling or scratched; food sticks and discolors easily.
Non-Stick Coating Degradation
Symptom
Keep-warm function overheats food, causing it to dry out or burn around the edges.
Keep-Warm Temperature Too High
Symptom
Lid hinge feels loose or wobbly; lid does not align properly with the pot.
Worn or Loose Lid Hinge Assembly
Symptom
Lid will not open after cooking; float valve appears to be stuck in the up position even after cooling.
Stuck Float Valve / Residual Pressure Lock
Symptom
Multicooker body becomes excessively hot to touch on the sides during operation.
Insulation / Outer Shell Overheating
Symptom
Multicooker does not power on at all; display is completely dead.
No Power / Dead Appliance
Symptom
Multicooker heats but never builds pressure; steam constantly escapes from the lid area.
Lid Seal Failure / Pressure Loss
Symptom
Multicooker makes loud clicking, popping, or metallic noises during heating.
Thermal Expansion Noise / Loose Internal Components
Symptom
Multicooker powers on but will not start any program; pressing Start does nothing or beeps only.
Start Inhibit / Safety Interlock Not Satisfied
Symptom
Multicooker randomly shuts off during cooking and restarts or loses the program.
Intermittent Power Loss / Overheat Cut-Out
Symptom
Multicooker trips the household circuit breaker or RCD when plugged in or when heating starts.
Electrical Short / Earth Leakage
Symptom
Programs end too early; food is undercooked even though the timer completed.
Incorrect Temperature / Pressure Sensing
Symptom
Steam and food spatter come out of the steam release valve continuously, making a mess on the countertop.
Steam Release Valve Contamination / Misassembly
Symptom
Strong electrical or burning plastic smell during operation, sometimes with visible smoke from vents.
Overheating / Electrical Insulation Failure
Symptom
Timer counts down extremely slowly or not at all; cooker seems stuck in preheat and never reaches cooking stage.
Failure to Reach Target Temperature / Pressure
Symptom
Water or starchy liquid leaks from the sides or bottom of the multicooker onto the countertop.
External Leakage / Condensation Management Failure
