How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the cooker immediately. Do not operate with liquid inside the base.
- Inspect inner pot: Remove and check for cracks, pinholes, or seam failures. Replace if any damage is found.
- Check base interior (advanced): Remove the bottom cover and look for signs of liquid, corrosion, or staining. Dry thoroughly with a cloth and allow to air dry for 48 hours.
- Verify gasket and lid: Ensure the gasket is intact and the lid seals properly to prevent internal leaks.
- When to call a technician: If liquid has reached the control board or wiring, have the unit professionally inspected before reuse.
