Possible Causes
Open-circuit main heating element, Burnt wiring to heating plate, Faulty triac/relay on control board, Overheat fuse blown
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the cooker. Internal live parts are exposed when the base is opened; if under warranty, seek authorized service.
- Check for obvious damage: Smell for burnt odours from the base. Do not continue using the unit if you suspect burning.
- Basic reset: After cooling, plug in and try a non-pressure program like Sauté. If E8 appears immediately and there is no heat, the heating circuit is likely open.
- Internal inspection (advanced users): With the base cover removed, visually inspect the heating element terminals and wiring for burns or disconnections. Do not touch capacitors or live parts.
- When to replace: A failed main heating element or thermal fuse must be replaced. This is a high-voltage repair and should be done by a professional.
