How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the cooker and allow it to cool before inspection.

  • External cleaning: Use a soft brush or vacuum to remove dust from the fan vents.
  • Listen for changes: After cleaning, run the cooker briefly. If grinding persists, the fan may be failing.
  • Professional service: Accessing and replacing the internal fan requires opening the housing. A technician should replace the fan with a Philips-compatible unit.
