Possible Causes
Incorrect temperature feedback from bottom sensor, Software detecting unsafe temperature rise, Heating element partially shorted, Poor contact between inner pot and heating plate
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug and cool the cooker before inspection.
- Check inner pot condition: Ensure the Lagostina inner pot is not warped and its bottom is clean and flat. Replace if heavily deformed.
- Clean heating plate: Wipe the plate and center sensor area to ensure good thermal contact.
- Avoid preheating empty: Do not run sauté or browning modes with an empty pot; always add oil or food to absorb heat.
- Test lower-temperature modes: If lower-temperature programs work but high-heat modes trigger E16, the control board may be misreading the sensor or the element may be overheating locally.
Further diagnosis requires testing the heating element and sensor under load; seek professional service if E16 persists.
