Possible Causes

Faulty START button on keypad, Control board not registering inputs, Child lock or safety mode active (on some models), Lid or pot detection not satisfied

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Ensure the inner pot and lid are correctly installed before troubleshooting.

  • Check display messages: Look for icons or text indicating lid not closed, pot missing, or lock active. Resolve any indicated condition.
  • Confirm pot and lid: Install the Ninja inner pot and close/lock the lid as required for the selected function.
  • Test other buttons: If other buttons respond but START does not, the START key may be faulty. Gently press around the button to see if it intermittently works.
  • Power reset: Unplug for 10 minutes, then retry. If the issue persists, the keypad or control board likely needs replacement.
