How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the cooker and allow it to cool before further use.
- Check cord seating: Ensure the plug is fully inserted into the outlet and not loose.
- Ventilation: Make sure the cooker has several inches of clearance on all sides and is not enclosed in a cabinet during use.
- Avoid covering: Do not drape towels or covers over the cooker while it is operating.
- Test with simple program: After cooling, run a short, low-heat program and observe whether it shuts off again.
Repeated unexpected shutoffs suggest a failing thermal cutoff or control board and should be diagnosed by a technician.
