E6 error displays and the cooker will not heat; sometimes occurs after a power surge or lightning event.

Safety first: Unplug the cooker. Do not attempt live testing unless you are trained and using proper insulated tools.

• 1. Visual inspection: Remove the bottom cover and inspect the heating element ring and its connectors. Look for burned spots, loose spade terminals, or melted insulation.
• 2. Check heating element continuity: Disconnect the heater leads and measure resistance across the element with a multimeter. A typical element will show a low but finite resistance (e.g., 20–60 ohms). An open reading indicates a failed element.
• 3. Inspect thermal cutoff: Many PowerXL multicookers include a thermal fuse in series with the heater. Test it for continuity; if open, replace with the same temperature and current rating.
• 4. Examine control board: Look for burned components near the heater relay or triac. If you see charring or cracked components, the board likely needs replacement.
• 5. Replace failed parts: Replace the heating element ring or thermal fuse as needed. If the board is damaged, replace the main control board as a complete assembly rather than attempting component-level repair.
• 6. Reassemble and test: After reassembly, test the unit with water in the pot on a low setting, monitoring for normal heating and ensuring there are no burning smells.
