Possible Causes
Shorted heating element, Moisture inside housing causing ground leakage, Damaged power cord, Overloaded circuit with multiple high-wattage appliances
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Repeated breaker trips indicate a potential electrical hazard. Do not continue resetting without investigation.
- Isolate the circuit: Plug the multicooker into a dedicated outlet with no other large appliances. If trips stop, the original circuit was overloaded.
- Inspect cord and plug: Look for damage or heat marks. Replace the cord if compromised.
- Dry the unit: If the cooker was exposed to spills, leave it unplugged in a dry area for 48 hours to allow internal moisture to evaporate.
- Service if trips persist: If the breaker or GFCI still trips on a dedicated circuit, the heating element or internal wiring may be shorted and requires professional repair.
