Possible Causes
Warped inner pot base, Debris under pot, Bent heating plate, Damaged pot support springs
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Do not operate the cooker if the pot is unstable; it can cause uneven heating or tipping.
- Clean contact surfaces: Remove the pot and clean the heating plate and pot base thoroughly.
- Check pot for warping: Place the pot on a flat countertop and see if it rocks. If so, replace the pot.
- Inspect heating plate: Look for visible dents or warping of the plate. Minor flex may be normal, but large deformations require repair.
- Check support springs: Some models use springs under the plate; if one has collapsed, the plate may tilt.
- When to replace: Replace the inner pot if warped, or the heating plate assembly if the plate or springs are damaged.
