Possible Causes
Firmware glitch, Multiple sensor faults detected, Power surge affecting control board, Incompatible or missing inner pot
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the cooker from the mains.
- Power reset: Leave the unit unplugged for at least 10 minutes to allow internal capacitors to discharge. Plug back in and try again.
- Check inner pot: Ensure the original Salter inner pot is correctly seated and making full contact with the heating plate. Some models detect pot presence.
- Inspect for obvious faults: Look for error indicators such as flashing icons for lid, pressure, or temperature. Address those specific issues (lid not closed, valve not set, etc.).
- Try different program: Attempt to start a simple program like 'Reheat' or 'Slow Cook' to see if the error is mode-specific.
If 'Err' reappears immediately on power-up, the control board may have a firmware or hardware fault. In that case, replacement of the main control PCB is recommended.
