Possible Causes

Multiple sensor disagreement (temperature, lid, bowl), Internal firmware safety lock, Faulty safety relay on main PCB, Wiring harness fault causing inconsistent signals

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect from mains for several minutes before attempting a reset.

  • Full reset: Unplug the unit for 10 minutes, then plug back in and power on. This can clear transient safety lock conditions.
  • Check all safety conditions: Ensure the bowl is correctly seated, the lid is properly locked, and the measuring cup is in place if required by your model.
  • Inspect for moisture or spills: Look for signs of liquid ingress around the lid, control panel, and base. Allow the unit to dry thoroughly (24 hours) if any moisture is suspected.
  • Service recommendation: Persistent C14 indicates a deeper safety system or PCB fault. Do not attempt to bypass safety circuits; contact an authorized service center.
