If you use the equipment in accordance with all operating rules, no doubt, it will thank its owners with a long and trouble-free operation. If slow cooker broke, the owners have several ways to solve the problem: seek help from the service center specialists or try to fix the problem yourself. Naturally, it will be very difficult for a person without special knowledge and skills to do this. You cannot do without the help of a professional. It is for this reason that manufacturers recommend observing the operating rules in order to prevent the occurrence of such troubles.
What causes the multicooker to turn off in the “quenching” mode?
Attempts to make a working multicooker work in the "Extinguishing" mode may be unsuccessful for the following reasons:
- Insufficiently juicy foods are placed in the bowl of the appliance. If the hostess wants to cook pre-fried meatballs or potatoes in a stewing mode, the slow cooker will turn off. There is an explanation for this: the device will try to heat the ingredients to a very high temperature so that during the heat treatment a liquid is released from them, without which the program simply cannot work. Having not achieved the goal, the equipment automatically starts protection against overheating and switches to "Heating" or turns off. Why does the multicooker turn off and how to solve the problem? There are two options: you need to add some water to the bowl or choose Multi Cook mode».
Why does the multicooker turn off after frying?
- Directly before extinguishing, the apparatus functioned in the “Frying” mode.
If the multicooker previously functioned in some kind of high-temperature mode, for example, “Frying”, an attempt to cook a dish in the “stewing” mode may be unsuccessful. There is a reasonable explanation for this: the sensors of the device receive information about the overheating of the device, which activates the protection mechanism. As a result, the equipment switches to the “Preheat” mode or may turn off altogether. In this case, it is necessary: it is necessary to wait a while and when the temperature of the cooking surface of the multicooker drops to several degrees.
Before starting cooking, make sure that the appliance has cooled down
Other reasons
The above are two main reasons why the multicooker shuts off ahead of time. However, there are other options. The device may not function properly due to;

- Liquid gets past the pan.
Every housewife should know that in no case should you use the bowl from the multicooker of another model. Not even a significant difference compared to the original component, can lead to damage to the kitchen appliances.
For example: if the device is from redmond, all replaced equipment should also be from this manufacturer. In another case, the device will not be able to determine if there is a capacity inside or is missing.
There is another, quite common cause of failure: the hostess forgets to install the bowl in the appliance, pours the liquid or falls asleep products just inside the multicooker. As a result, in this case, contamination of the mechanisms of the apparatus.
Before cooking, make sure that a bowl is installed in the appliance.
