Toshiba Inner Pot Support / Heater Plate Deformation

Inner pot wobbles excessively or does not sit level; scraping noise when stirring.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Bent heater plate, Broken or worn pot support springs, Debris under central pivot, Deformed inner pot rim

Safety: Unplug and cool before inspection.

1. Clean contact area: Remove the pot and clean the heater plate and central pivot of any rice or debris.
2. Check pot rim: Inspect the rim for dents or bends. Replace the pot if deformed.
3. Inspect heater plate: From inside, check if the plate appears warped. From below, remove the bottom cover and inspect the support springs or mounts. Replace bent springs or the heater plate assembly if necessary.

Do not force a deformed pot into the cooker; this can damage sensors and heater.
