Essential FAQs for Efficient Electric Cooker Repair Services

If your electric cooker overheats, it’s usually down to a malfunctioning thermostat or a blocked vent. Check if the thermostat settings are correct, and make sure the ventilation is clear.

This might be due to a short circuit in the wiring, a faulty heating element, or water contact with the electrical components. This problem calls for a professional - unplug the cooker and consult an electrician.

When the relay switch turns the heating element on and off in order to regulate the temperature, it makes a small clicking noise. If the noise is excessive, it might be down to a faulty switch or loose component.

If the display is not working, check the power supply and reset the cooker. If the issue persists, the control board or display panel may be faulty and require professional repair.

Incorrect settings, faulty heating element or unsuitable cookware may each contribute to longer cooking times. Inspect the heating element and check the settings to see if they are at fault, and make sure to use the appropriate cookware.

An unusual smell may result from burning food debris, grease buildup, or a new heating element. Clean the cooker regularly and, if it’s new, run it at high temperature for a few minutes to burn off residues.

Uneven heating could be caused by a faulty heating element or an issue with the thermostat. Check if the heating element isn’t damaged, and see that the thermostat is functioning properly.

If the light doesn’t turn on, it might be because of a burned bulb, or an electrical issue with the control board. Inspect the bulb and replace if necessary, or call a repair technician to check on the control board.

To clean your electric cooker, unplug it and use a non-abrasive cleaner for the cooktop. For any removable parts, clean them with warm soapy water. Avoid water contact with electrical components.
