Possible Causes

Loose power cord connection, Faulty outlet or GFCI trip, Internal control board thermal shutdown, Loose internal wiring

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: After shutdown, verify there is no active fire or smoke before opening the lid.

  • Check that the power cord is firmly plugged into the outlet and not being pulled or vibrated loose.
  • Test the outlet with another device and reset any tripped GFCI or breaker.
  • Inspect internal wiring at the control board for loose connections.
  • If shutdowns occur after long high‑heat cooks, the control board may be overheating; ensure adequate ventilation around the controller and replace the control board if the issue persists.

Warning: Do not bypass safety devices or operate on a damaged circuit.
