How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug and cool before opening the base.
- Check for debris: Remove the inner pot and inspect the heating plate for grains, utensils, or foreign objects.
- Try a different surface: Place the cooker on a stable, level surface to rule out resonance with the countertop.
- Inspect mounting screws (advanced): Remove the bottom cover and gently tighten screws holding the heating plate and internal brackets. Do not overtighten.
- Observe pattern: Some mild clicking from metal expansion is normal, but loud or grinding noises indicate a mechanical issue.
If noises persist or worsen, have a technician inspect for loose or damaged internal parts.
