How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the cooker and let it cool completely before any inspection.
- Reset and cool: Leave the unit unplugged for 10–15 minutes to allow any thermal protection to reset. Plug back in and try a low-temperature program. If E1 appears immediately, continue.
- Inspect underside of inner pot area: Remove the inner pot and visually inspect the central sensor area on the heating plate. Look for burnt marks, corrosion, or loose sensor cap. Do not pry on the sensor.
- Check for moisture: If liquid has boiled over recently, gently wipe the heating plate and sensor area with a dry cloth. Allow several hours to dry fully before retesting.
- Do not bypass sensor: Never short or bypass the sensor wires; this is a critical safety device.
- If E1 persists: The NTC sensor or its wiring is likely defective and should be replaced by a qualified technician familiar with Midea multicooker internals.
