How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug before inspection. Avoid using the cooker unattended until resolved.
- Check cord and plug: Ensure the plug fits tightly in the outlet and the cord is not pulled or twisted.
- Ventilation: Improve airflow around the cooker; do not enclose it in cabinets during use.
- Internal inspection: Remove the bottom cover and check for loose connectors, especially the mains input and board connectors.
- Heat damage: Look for discolored areas on the PCB indicating overheating.
If shutdowns persist, the thermal cut-out or control board likely needs replacement.
