Possible Causes
Lid sensor out of calibration, Steam path partially blocked causing abnormal lid temperature, Incorrect lid sensor replacement, Control firmware error
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Ensure the cooker is cool and depressurized before working on the lid.
- 1. Clean steam path: Remove and clean the steam release valve, anti-block shield, and float valve to ensure proper steam flow.
- 2. Inspect lid sensor: Check the lid temperature sensor for secure mounting and good thermal contact with the lid metal. Loose sensors can misread temperature.
- 3. Verify sensor part: Confirm that any replacement lid sensor matches the original PowerXL specification.
- 4. Reset unit: Perform a power reset and any available factory reset procedure.
- 5. Replace lid sensor or control board: If C2 persists, replace the lid temperature sensor. If still unresolved, replace the main control board.
