Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the cooker immediately. Do not reset the breaker repeatedly without finding the cause.
Visual inspection:
- Check the power cord for damage or melted areas; replace if necessary.
- Remove the bottom cover and inspect for signs of water ingress, burned wires, or charred components.
Component checks (qualified DIYers):
- Test the heating element for shorts to ground using a multimeter (check resistance between each terminal and the metal chassis).
- Inspect the main control board for obvious shorted components.
Resolution: Replace any shorted components (heating element, cord) and thoroughly dry the unit if moisture is present. If the board is damaged, it must be replaced. If you are not experienced with electrical repairs, contact a professional.
