Possible Causes
Loose heating plate mounting screws, Warped inner pot, Metal parts expanding and contracting, Loose chassis or lid hinge screws
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug and cool the cooker before tightening any screws.
Step-by-step checks:
- 1. Differentiate normal vs abnormal: Occasional soft clicks from the thermostat or relay are normal. Loud metallic pops or rattles are not.
- 2. Check inner pot fit: Ensure the pot sits firmly without rocking. Replace if warped.
- 3. Tighten mounting screws: Remove the bottom cover and gently tighten the screws securing the heating plate and chassis. Do not overtighten to avoid warping.
- 4. Inspect lid hinge: Tighten any loose hinge screws that may cause clunking when the lid moves.
Recommendation: If noises are accompanied by burning smells or error codes, stop using the cooker and have it inspected professionally.
