How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the cooker. Do not attempt to bypass safety devices.
- Check with water test: Start a high-heat program with water. If the water remains cold after several minutes, the heater is not working.
- Listen for relay click: Place your ear near the cooker (at a safe distance) when starting a program. If you do not hear any relay click, the control board may not be energizing the heater.
- Professional repair: Diagnosing the heater circuit requires opening the base and testing continuity of the heater and thermal cut-out. A technician should replace any failed components with Philips-approved parts.
