How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug immediately if you suspect a short circuit. Do not continue using the cooker until the fault is resolved.

  • Open the housing: With the unit unplugged, remove the outer cover to access the main PCB and wiring.
  • Check for moisture: Look for signs of condensation or liquid on the PCB. If present, dry thoroughly and allow 24 hours before retesting.
  • Inspect wiring: Trace heater and fan wires for chafing or contact with metal edges. Repair or replace damaged wires.
