How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the cooker before opening any covers.
- Identify sound location: Gently tilt the cooled cooker and listen to where the rattle originates (lid, body, base).
- Inspect under pot: Remove the inner pot and look for loose items on the heating plate.
- Open base (advanced): Remove the bottom cover and carefully shake or tilt to locate any loose screws or parts. Remove foreign objects and resecure any loose hardware.
- Check lid interior: If the sound is from the lid, remove the inner lid and inspect for loose parts.
Do not operate the cooker with loose internal parts, as they can cause shorts or mechanical damage.
