How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Do not repeatedly reset a breaker that trips. Unplug the cooker immediately.
- Inspect cord and plug: Look for visible damage or burn marks. Replace the cord if compromised.
- Check for moisture: If the cooker was recently washed or exposed to spills, allow it to dry completely for 24–48 hours.
- Test on another circuit: Plug into a different circuit to rule out a weak breaker (only if safe and the cord appears intact).
- Internal inspection (advanced): Remove the bottom cover and look for burnt components or melted insulation. Do not touch live parts.
- Replace faulty parts: A shorted heating element or control board must be replaced. If unsure, contact a professional technician.
