How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the cooker before inspecting electrical components.
Steps to stabilize power:
- 1. Try a different outlet: Plug the cooker into a known-good outlet on a different circuit, avoiding multi-way adapters.
- 2. Inspect power cord: Flex the cord gently while the unit is on (if safe) to see if flickering correlates. Replace the power cord set if intermittent.
- 3. Check internal connections: Remove the base and verify that the mains cord is firmly secured to the terminal block or PCB.
- 4. Examine low-voltage section: Look for bulging capacitors or burnt components in the power supply area of the PCB. Replace the main control board if defective.
Frequent resets can interrupt cooking and may indicate impending PCB failure; address promptly.
