Possible Causes
Defective pressure sensor on lid or internal manifold, Blocked pressure sensor port by food residue, Loose pressure sensor connector on PCB, Damaged pressure sensor wiring harness
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Ensure the cooker is fully depressurized. Unplug from mains before disassembly.
- Clean pressure path: Remove the steam release valve and anti‑block shield (if fitted). Clean all holes with a brush or toothpick to ensure the pressure sensor port is not clogged.
- Locate pressure sensor: On many Severin multicookers, the pressure sensor is mounted under the lid or on a small manifold inside the top housing. Check its hose or channel for blockages.
- Check connections: Reseat the pressure sensor connector on the main PCB. Inspect for corrosion or bent pins.
- Visual inspection: Look for cracks in the sensor body or signs of moisture ingress. If present, replace the sensor module.
- Test: Reassemble and run a water‑only pressure cycle. If E5 returns, the sensor or main board is likely defective and should be replaced.
Warning: Never poke sharp metal objects into the pressure port; use plastic or wooden tools to avoid damage.
