Multicooker makes loud clicking, popping, or metallic noises during heating.

Safety first: Some mild clicking is normal, but loud or sharp noises should be investigated. Unplug and cool before inspection.

• Check for debris: Remove the inner pot and inspect the heater plate for grains, utensils, or other objects. Remove any foreign material.
• Inspect pot bottom: Place the pot on a flat surface to check for rocking. Replace if warped.
• Verify mounting (advanced): With the bottom cover removed (unplugged), check that the heater plate screws and springs are secure and not excessively loose.
• Monitor: If noises persist with a good pot and clean heater, have a technician inspect the heater plate assembly.
