Possible Causes

Uneven countertop surface, Missing or hardened rubber feet, Internal fan or component imbalance (if equipped), Loose internal mounting screws

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Ensure the cooker cannot fall from the counter. Unplug before internal inspection.

Steps to reduce vibration:

  • 1. Level the surface: Place the cooker on a flat, stable, heat-resistant surface. Avoid soft or uneven surfaces.
  • 2. Check rubber feet: Inspect the bottom feet. Replace any missing or hardened feet with compatible rubber foot pads.
  • 3. Tighten screws: With the base removed, tighten all chassis and heating plate mounting screws.
  • 4. Observe operation: Run the cooker with water only and observe. Slight vibration can be normal when steam is released, but walking or strong movement is not.

If vibration is accompanied by unusual noise or smell, stop using the cooker and have it inspected.
