How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Steps:

Plug the cooker directly into a wall outlet, avoiding extension cords or power strips.
Ensure the power cord is fully inserted into the cooker’s inlet (if detachable) and the wall outlet.
Test the cooker on a different outlet on a separate circuit to rule out household wiring issues.
If flickering persists, remove the bottom cover and inspect the main board for cracked solder joints at the power input and for bulging or leaking capacitors.
Replace the main control board if obvious power supply component failure is observed.
