How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the cooker before any inspection. Internal access involves exposure to mains wiring.

  • Power cycle: Unplug for 15 minutes, then reconnect and test. Sometimes transient faults clear with a full reset.
  • Check for moisture ingress: If the unit was exposed to heavy steam or liquid spills, allow it to dry for 24–48 hours in a warm, dry environment.
  • Do not disassemble if under warranty: Opening the housing may void warranty. Contact Ninja support for guidance.
  • Professional diagnosis: A technician can open the unit, reseat connectors, and test continuity of the sensor harnesses.
