Possible Causes
Firmware glitch in control PCB, Stuck keypad button on control panel, Corrupted sensor reading outside expected range, Internal memory error on microcontroller
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the cooker before any disassembly.
- Power reset: Unplug the multicooker for at least 10 minutes to allow capacitors to discharge. Plug back in and check if the error clears.
- Check keypad: Inspect the control panel for stuck or damaged buttons. Press each button several times to ensure free movement. Wipe the panel with a slightly damp cloth and dry.
- Remove moisture: If the cooker was recently exposed to steam around the control panel, allow it to dry in a warm, dry place for several hours before retrying.
- Factory reset (if available): Consult the Salton manual for any reset procedure (e.g., holding specific buttons while plugging in). Perform the reset and test again.
If the Err message persists, the main control PCB may be defective and require replacement.
