How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Ensure the cooker is cool and unplugged before extended troubleshooting.
Steps:
- Check basics: Confirm the inner pot is installed, the lid is properly closed and locked (if required), and the sealing ring is in place.
- Reset: Press Cancel/Off, then unplug for 5–10 minutes. Reconnect and try a simple program.
- Observe pattern: Some models use beep patterns to indicate specific issues (e.g., lid open). Refer to the user manual for your model.
Repair: If the beeping persists with no clear cause, the control PCB or sensors may be faulty and require professional diagnosis.
