Multicooker trips the household circuit breaker or RCD when plugged in or when heating starts.
Safety Warning

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.
Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Do not repeatedly reset the breaker. Unplug the cooker immediately. Risk of electric shock and fire.
- Visual inspection: Check the mains cord for cuts or crushed areas. Do not use if damaged.
- Drying: If the cooker was recently washed or exposed to heavy steam, allow it to dry in a warm, dry place for 24–48 hours before retesting.
- Internal check (advanced): Remove the bottom cover and look for signs of arcing, burnt marks, or water ingress around the heater and PCB.
If the breaker still trips after drying and visual checks, a component is likely shorted and the unit should be serviced by a qualified technician.
