Possible Causes

Shorted heating element to chassis, Damaged power cord or strain relief, Moisture inside base causing leakage, Failed triac or power transistor on PCB

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Immediately unplug the cooker. If the circuit breaker tripped, reset it only after disconnecting the appliance.

Inspection:

  • Check power cord: Inspect the Moulinex power cord and plug for cuts, burns, or kinks. Replace the cord if damaged.
  • Look for moisture: If liquid has spilled into the base, do not use the cooker. Allow it to dry for at least 24–48 hours in a warm, dry place. If corrosion is visible, service is required.
  • Smell test: A burnt smell from the base or control panel suggests a shorted heater or PCB component.

Important: Do not attempt to power the unit repeatedly if it trips breakers or shows E8. Internal insulation and safety clearances must be checked with proper test equipment by a professional.
