Causes of Overheating in Induction Cookers

Cooking at high power can quickly heat up the induction cooker, which is not safe to use

Cooking at high power can quickly heat up the induction cooker, posing safety risks.

– Cooking at high temperatures and power for an extended period can overload the induction cooker, causing it to become hot. The control screen may display the error code E1 as an indication of overheating.

– Blocked or faulty cooling fans, poor air circulation around the cooker.

– Use of cookware with temperatures exceeding 280 degrees Celsius or high current flow, causing the cooker to heat up. This condition is often associated with the appearance of error code E4 on the control panel screen.

– Overheating of the IGBT (inductive sensor), resulting in the heating of the cooker and the display of the error code E5.

– Malfunctioning temperature sensor, loose connection, or excessive bottom temperature of the pot, leading to increased induction cooker temperature and the display of error code E6.

For effective troubleshooting:

Turn off the cooker to reduce heat when the induction cooker heats up

Turn off the cooker to reduce heat when the induction cooker heats up.

– If the cause is cooking at high power, high temperature of cookware, overheated inductive sensor, or a faulty temperature sensor, quickly turn off the cooker and allow it to cool for at least 10 minutes. Remove any cookware still on the cooker surface.

– Check the stability of the current flowing into the cooker. If unsure, use a stabilizer to quickly stabilize the power supply. Once the cooker is cool, turn it back on and ensure no error codes reappear before continuing cooking.

– If the cooling fan is causing the overheating issue, turn off the cooker, inspect the fan’s condition, remove any obstructions around it, and ensure proper ventilation around the cooker. Replace the cooling fan if damaged.

– If the cooker’s temperature does not decrease after restarting, turn off the cooker, unplug the power cord, and contact a warranty center or repair shop. Do not attempt to repair the device yourself unless you are a professional technician.
