How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Do not repeatedly reset the breaker; this indicates a potentially dangerous fault. Unplug the cooker immediately.
- Visual inspection: Check the power cord and plug for burn marks or cuts. If damaged, replace the cord before further testing.
- Drying moisture: If the cooker was recently washed or exposed to liquid, leave it unplugged in a warm, dry place for 24–48 hours to allow internal moisture to evaporate.
- Internal check (advanced): With the unit unplugged, remove the bottom cover and inspect for burnt components, melted insulation, or water traces. Do not touch capacitors or live tracks.
- Professional repair: Because this involves mains safety, have a qualified technician test the heating element and PCB for shorts and replace faulty parts.
