Multicooker shows E6 and will not start or stops during heating.

Safety first: Unplug the cooker and let it cool completely before further checks.

• Verify inner pot presence: Ensure the original Xiaomi inner pot is installed, clean, and seated flat on the heater plate. Third-party or warped pots may not make proper contact.
• Check for foreign objects: Remove the pot and inspect the heater plate for debris, foil, or utensils that could prevent contact or cause hot spots.
• Avoid dry cooking: Never start a program without sufficient water or food. Follow Xiaomi’s minimum liquid guidelines for each mode.
• Clean and inspect: Wipe the heater plate and central sensor area. Look for discoloration or burn marks indicating repeated overheating.
• Reset and test: After cooling, plug in and test with a simple rice or porridge program with adequate water. If E6 appears immediately, internal protection components may be faulty.
• Internal check (advanced): Remove the bottom cover and inspect the thermal fuse and dry-burn sensor on the heater plate. Check for open-circuit thermal fuse using a multimeter.
• Replace damaged parts: If the thermal fuse is open or the dry-burn sensor is defective, replace the heater plate assembly or the individual components as designed for your Xiaomi model.
• Professional repair: If E6 persists after verifying pot, contents, and replacing protection components, the control board may be misreading temperature and should be serviced.
