Multicooker shows E15 and may shut down unexpectedly during cooking.
Safety Warning
This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.
If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.
Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the cooker before accessing internal components. Do not insert objects into fan openings while powered.
Steps to resolve:
- Check external vents: Inspect side and rear vents for dust buildup or obstructions. Clean with a soft brush or vacuum.
- Listen for fan operation: On models with a fan, you should hear it during high-temperature or pressure modes. If silent, proceed to internal checks.
- Access the fan (advanced): Remove the outer housing to locate the cooling fan near the control board or heater assembly.
- Inspect and clean: Remove dust and grease from the fan blades and housing. Ensure the fan spins freely by hand.
- Check wiring: Confirm the fan connector is firmly seated on the PCB. Look for damaged wires.
- Replace if faulty: If the fan motor is seized or open-circuit, replace it with the correct Siemens fan module.
When to call a technician: If E15 persists after fan replacement, the fan driver circuit on the main PCB may be defective and needs professional repair.
