Possible Causes

Warped inner pot bottom, Dirty heater plate, Faulty bottom NTC sensor, Starch buildup affecting heat distribution

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug and allow the cooker to cool before cleaning.

  • Clean contact surfaces: Remove the inner pot and thoroughly clean the heater plate and central sensor with a soft cloth. Remove any burnt residue.
  • Inspect inner pot: Check the bottom of the Tiger inner pot for warping, scratches, or coating damage. Replace if the bottom is not perfectly flat.
  • Rinse rice properly: Excess starch can cause sticking and scorching. Rinse rice until water runs mostly clear.
  • Test with water only: Run a short cycle with just water to see if boiling appears even. If the cooker still overheats or shuts off, the temperature sensor or control board may be out of calibration.
