How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the cooker and allow it to cool before handling.
- Inspect vents: Look into the side or bottom vents for visible dust or debris. Use a soft brush or compressed air (short bursts) to gently clear dust.
- Listen for changes: After cleaning, run the cooker briefly and listen. If grinding persists, the fan motor may be failing.
Replacing the internal cooling fan requires opening the housing and should be done by a qualified technician.
