How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the cooker and let it cool.

Steps:

  • Check vents: Inspect side and rear ventilation grilles. Remove dust with a soft brush or vacuum. Do not insert metal objects.
  • Listen after cleaning: Plug in and run a low-heat program. If grinding persists, the fan motor may be failing.
