Possible Causes

Blown internal fuse on power input board, Faulty power cord or plug, Failed low-voltage power supply on main PCB, Loose neutral or live connection inside unit

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the cooker before opening. If the outlet is suspected, test it with another appliance first.

Steps:

  • Verify the wall outlet has power and that any power strip or surge protector is switched on.
  • Inspect the power cord for cuts, kinks, or burn marks. Replace the cord if damaged.
  • Remove the bottom cover to access the power input area. Locate the internal fuse (often in a small holder or soldered on the board near where the cord enters).
  • If you are qualified, test the fuse for continuity. Replace only with the same type and rating if blown.
  • Check for loose spade connectors or screw terminals on the power input and main board.
  • If the fuse is intact and connections are secure but the unit remains dead, the main control board’s power supply section is likely faulty and the board should be replaced.
