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.

- Professional service: Accessing and replacing the internal fan requires opening the housing. A technician should replace the fan with a Philips-compatible unit.
