Possible Causes

Attempting to restart immediately after cooking, Internal components above safe temperature, Blocked ventilation, Faulty temperature sensing causing false high reading

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Do not attempt to cool the unit rapidly with water or fans; allow natural cooling.

  • Allow cooling time: Open the lid and remove the inner pan. Leave the unit unplugged for 30–60 minutes to cool.
  • Improve airflow: Ensure the cooker is not enclosed in a cabinet and has space around it.
  • Avoid back-to-back cycles: For heavy use, allow a short cool-down period between high-heat or pressure cycles.
  • Test again: After cooling, plug in and start a short cycle. If H01 appears even when the unit is cool to the touch, a sensor or board fault is likely.

When to call a technician: False high-temperature lockouts require testing of thermistors and control logic.
