Possible Causes
Weak heating element, NTC sensor reading too high (thinks it is hotter than it is), Pressure sensor miscalibrated, Lid not fully sealing so pressure is low
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Allow the cooker to cool before internal checks.
- Check sealing: Ensure the sealing ring and valves are in good condition so full pressure can be reached.
- Measure heater: Test the heating element resistance; if significantly higher than spec, it may be weak and require replacement.
- Sensor check: Compare actual water temperature (with a kitchen thermometer) to the set temperature in a slow‑cook mode; large discrepancies suggest sensor issues.
- Adjust recipes: Until repaired, increase cooking times or use higher settings to compensate.
Warning: Do not attempt to recalibrate sensors in firmware unless you have official service documentation.
