Possible Causes
Unstable mains voltage, Failing relay on PCB, Loose control wiring, Faulty temperature sensor causing rapid feedback
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the cooker if noises are accompanied by burning smell or visible arcing.
- Check power supply: Avoid using long extension leads; plug directly into a stable wall outlet.
- Observe heating: If the cooker heats normally despite occasional clicks, this may be normal. Rapid, continuous clicking with no heating indicates a fault.
- Inspect wiring (advanced): Remove the base and check for loose connectors on the main PCB and sensor leads.
- When to replace: A chattering relay or faulty triac on the main PCB requires replacement of the main control PCB.
