E7 error appears when trying to start a program; lid seems closed but cooker will not begin.

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the cooker before working near the lid lock. Do not force the lid closed with tools.

Step 1 – Check lid closure:

Open and close the lid several times, listening for a distinct click from the lock mechanism.
Ensure the silicone sealing ring is properly seated and not preventing full closure.

Step 2 – Inspect lid lock:

Remove the decorative cover around the lid handle (if present) to access the lid lock assembly.
Look for broken plastic parts or a stuck lock pin.
Clean any food residue around the lock area.

Step 3 – Test the microswitch (if equipped and accessible):

With the unit unplugged, locate the small lid position microswitch connected by two wires.
Operate the lock by hand and check continuity across the switch terminals with a multimeter.
No change in continuity when actuated indicates a failed switch.

Step 4 – Repair:

Replace the lid lock assembly or the lid microswitch if defective.
Check and repair any broken or loose wires between the lock and the main PCB.
If the hardware is fine but E7 remains, the control board input may be faulty and require replacement.
