Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the cooker before any inspection. Do not operate a unit that smells burnt or shows visible damage.
Steps:
- Power reset: Unplug for at least 15 minutes to discharge internal capacitors, then reconnect and test. If E6 appears immediately, proceed to inspection.
- Inspect for moisture: Check around the control panel and lid for signs of liquid spills. If moisture is suspected, leave the unit unplugged in a dry, warm area for 24–48 hours and retry.
- Open housing (advanced): Remove the bottom cover and inspect the control PCB for burn marks, bulging capacitors, or corrosion. If any are present, the PCB should be replaced.
- Do not bypass safety: Do not attempt to bridge relays or triacs to force heating; this is unsafe.
Recommendation: E6 usually indicates a failed control board. Replacement of the control PCB assembly is typically required and is best done by a qualified technician.
