Multicooker powers on but will not start any cooking program; pressing Start does nothing or cancels immediately.

Safety first: Ensure the cooker is cool and unplugged before inspecting mechanical parts.

• Verify inner pot: Make sure the Wolf Gourmet stainless-steel inner pot is correctly seated and fully down on the heating plate. Some models will not start without the pot.
• Check lid status: For pressure or certain modes, the lid must be locked. Confirm the lid is aligned and rotated to the locked position.
• Test other buttons: Press various buttons to see if they respond normally. If only the Start button fails, the keypad may be worn or damaged.
• Reset the unit: Unplug for 10 minutes, then plug back in and attempt a simple non-pressure mode like Sear/Sauté with the lid off.
• Service if unresolved: If the Start function remains unresponsive, the keypad assembly or control board likely needs replacement.
