Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Immediately unplug the cooker. If you see flames, use a fire extinguisher rated for electrical fires; do not use water.

  • Ventilate the area: Open windows and allow smoke to clear before inspecting.
  • Inspect inner pot and heating plate: Once cool, remove the pot and check for burned-on food or oil on the plate. Clean thoroughly.
  • Check exterior and cord: Look for melted plastic, scorch marks, or a burned smell near the cord or base. Do not reuse if you see damage.
  • Internal inspection (advanced): With the bottom cover removed (unplugged), look for charred wires, burned components on the control board, or melted insulation.
  • Discontinue use if electrical damage is found: Any sign of internal burning requires professional repair or replacement of the unit.
