Possible Causes

Overheated wiring or connectors, Failing control board components, Blocked ventilation around cooker

Safety first: Unplug immediately. Do not continue using the cooker until the source is identified.

Check ventilation: Ensure there is at least several centimeters of clearance around the cooker and that vents are not blocked.
Inspect internals: Remove the bottom cover and look for discolored or melted wires, connectors, or PCB areas. Replace any burnt connectors and repair wiring with high-temperature rated wire.
Board replacement: If the PCB shows signs of overheating (burn marks, cracked components), replace the entire board.
