The crock-pot belongs to the category of high-tech household appliances. If you use the equipment in accordance with all operating rules, no doubt, it will thank its owners with a long and uninterrupted 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. For this reason, 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 appliance bowl. If the hostess wants to cook pre-fried cutlets 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 “Heating” 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;
- The presence of soot or something else on the heating surface;
- Burnt bowl;
- Steam valve clogging.
- Applications of the non-original bowl;
- 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 equipment.
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 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.

The basic rules for using a multicooker include the following:
- Use kitchen appliances only for the intended purpose;

Care
Each multicooker has such components: a heating element, a cooking container, a lid, a control panel with a display. In the event of a breakdown on the latter, you can see information about an error in the operation of the device. A bowl, depending on the model of apparatus, may have a handle. Instrument covers are both built-in and removable.
The first thing you should always keep in mind: the crock-pot should be completely cooled after cooking is complete. In the next step, the lid, steam tank, bowl are removed. All components must be carefully cleaned.
The pan of the appliance has a special coating. Clean the container carefully. For these purposes, the use of metal nets, hard sponges and other aggressive accessories is not allowed.
A double boiler and a multicooker bowl should be washed both under running water and in a special dishwasher in a delicate mode.
Of great importance is the selection of cleaning products. You can not use various abrasives, powders. Ideally, it is best to use liquid type cleaners for this purpose.
Sponges for cleaning surfaces of equipment should be soft, without a scratching surface
The heating element of the multicooker should also be thoroughly cleaned so that in the future it does not form carbon deposits. To do this, disconnect the device from the power supply, wait until it cools completely, then wipe it with a slightly damp sponge.
After completing the cooking process, the appliance should be thoroughly cleaned.

My slow cooker Redmond initially began to throw out tricks - it worked fine only when the phase got into the desired wire in the network wire. If you turn the wire over - after 3-5 minutes from any mode, it switches to the "Heating" mode. In principle, this should not affect in any way. But the American thinks differently.
