Possible Causes
Faulty lid position switch, Misaligned lid hinge or latch, Broken lid detection magnet or reed switch, Damaged lid wiring harness
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the cooker before working on the lid mechanism.
- 1. Confirm lid closure: Close the lid firmly until you hear a click. Try pressing down gently on the lid while starting a program.
- 2. Inspect hinge and latch: Check for bent metal, broken plastic, or foreign objects preventing full closure.
- 3. Locate lid switch: Access the top cover and find the lid position switch or reed sensor. Ensure any magnet on the lid aligns correctly with the sensor when closed.
- 4. Electrical test: Use a multimeter to verify that the lid switch changes state (open/closed) when the lid is moved. Replace the switch or magnet if defective.
- 5. Harness check: Inspect the lid wiring harness for breaks, especially where it passes through the hinge.
Do not bypass the lid switch; it is a critical safety interlock.
