Possible Causes
Partially failed heating element, Poor contact between inner pot and heating plate, Faulty bottom temperature sensor, Warped Philips inner pot
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug and allow the cooker to cool before inspecting internal surfaces.
- Check inner pot: Ensure you are using the original Philips inner pot. Inspect the base for warping or dents. Replace if it does not sit flat.
- Clean contact surfaces: Wipe the heating plate and bottom of the pot to remove oil or residue that can insulate heat.
- Correct filling and recipes: Verify that you are using the correct water-to-food ratios and program settings recommended in the Philips manual.
- Sensor/element fault: If cooking remains consistently slow, the heater or sensor may be degraded. A technician can measure heater resistance and sensor values and replace faulty parts.
