Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the cooker. Internal work should be done only by qualified personnel.
- Access bottom assembly: Remove the base cover to locate the thermal fuse or thermal cutout attached to the heating plate or wiring.
- Visual check: Look for a small cylindrical or disc-shaped device in series with the heating element. Check for signs of overheating or discoloration.
- Continuity test: With a multimeter, test the thermal fuse for continuity. An open reading means it has blown and must be replaced.
- Investigate cause: Before replacing, identify why it blew (e.g., blocked ventilation, repeated dry cooking) to prevent recurrence.
