F8 error appears, and the cooker may trip the household breaker or shut off.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Shorted heating element, Damaged wiring insulation touching chassis, Faulty heater relay on control board

Safety first: Unplug the cooker immediately. Do not continue using it until the fault is resolved.

Inspect for burning: Remove the bottom cover and look for burnt wires or scorch marks around the heater terminals.
Check wiring routing: Ensure that no wires are pinched between metal parts or touching the heating element.
Test heater resistance (advanced): Use a multimeter to measure the heating element resistance. A very low reading may indicate a short circuit.

Due to fire and shock risk, a qualified technician should replace any shorted components or the control board.
