Multicooker displays E7 and does not heat, often immediately after power-on.

Safety first: Unplug the appliance. Do not attempt to bypass any thermal fuses or safety devices.

Checks:

• Visual inspection: Remove the inner pot and inspect the heating plate for burn marks, cracks, or deformation.
• Bottom cover access: If you are experienced and the unit is out of warranty, remove the bottom cover to inspect the heater connections. Look for loose spade terminals or burnt connectors.
• Thermal fuse: Many Moulinex multicookers include a thermal cutoff attached to the heater. If it has opened due to overheating, the heater will not energize and E7 may appear. This component must be replaced with the exact rating.
• Do not bridge components: Never short-circuit a thermal fuse or relay as a test; this is dangerous.

Recommendation: Because heater and thermal fuse replacement involves mains wiring and insulation checks, this repair is best performed by a qualified technician.
