Possible Causes
Faulty NTC temperature sensor reading too low, Sensor not properly attached to heating plate, Control PCB temperature regulation circuit failure
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug and allow the cooker to cool before inspection.
Steps to resolve:
- Check cooking practices: Ensure sufficient liquid is used and that the correct program is selected. Avoid using high-heat modes for delicate foods.
- Inspect sensor mounting: Remove the inner pot and check that the NTC sensor is firmly clipped or screwed to the heating plate. A loose sensor will read cooler than actual, causing overheating.
- Check sensor wiring: From the base, ensure the sensor wires are intact and not extended or modified.
- Replace sensor: If the sensor is suspected faulty (erratic temperatures, burnt food, but no error codes), replace it with a genuine Morphy Richards NTC sensor.
- Control PCB check: If overheating persists after sensor replacement, the control PCB may be misregulating power and should be replaced by a technician.
