What are the Common Faults of Automatic Cooking Machines? – Manufacturer’s Answers

As an efficient cooking device in modern kitchens, machines de cuisson automatiques have been designed and manufactured with durability and reliability in mind. However, they may still encounter some common faults during actual use. Understanding these faults and their solutions can help users better maintain and use the automatic cooking machine and ensure its normal operation. The following are some common faults of cooking machines and their solutions.

I. Failure rate analysis

1. Power supply problem

The automatic cooking machine cannot heat up naturally if the power is not connected or the power cord is faulty.

(1) Power is not connected

Fault manifestation: The cooking machine cannot start.

Solution: Check whether the power plug is plugged in tightly and whether the power cord is damaged. If the power cord is damaged, replace it in time.

(2) Power cord failure

Fault manifestation: The power cord is damaged or aged, failing to supply power normally.

Solution: Replace the power cord with a new one to ensure the quality and safety of the power cord.

(3) Unstable power supply voltage

Fault manifestation: The automatic cooking machine stops intermittently or has insufficient power during use.

Solution: Use a voltage stabilizer to ensure that the power supply voltage is stable within the working range of the automatic cooking machine.

2. Heater failure

The heater is a key component that converts electrical energy into thermal energy. If it is damaged or fails, the automatic cooking machine will not be able to heat.

(1) Heater failure

Failure manifestation: The automatic cooking machine cannot heat, or the heating effect is poor.

Solution: Check whether the heater is damaged, such as whether the heating tube is red. If the heater is damaged, it needs to be replaced in time.

(2) Heater overheat protection

Failure manifestation: The automatic cooking machine automatically stops heating during use.

Solution: Check whether the overheat protection device of the heater is activated. If it is an overheating protection, you need to wait for the device to cool down before restarting.

(3) Poor contact of the heater

Failure manifestation: The heater sometimes works and sometimes does not work.

Solution: Check whether the connection between the heater and the power supply is firm. If it is loose, it needs to be re-tightened.

3. Control circuit problem

Failure or damage to the control circuit may cause the automatic cooking machine to fail to work properly.

(1) Control panel failure

Failure manifestation: The buttons on the control panel cannot operate normally.

Solution: Check if the control panel connection cable is loose or damaged. If the connection cable is faulty, reconnect or replace it.

(2) Circuit board failure

Failure manifestation: The stir-fryer cannot start normally or has abnormal behavior.

Solution: Check if the components on the circuit board, such as capacitors and resistors, are damaged. If damaged, replace the corresponding elements.

4. Sensor problem

Failure or damage to the temperature sensor may cause the stir-fryer to be unable to correctly sense the temperature and thus unable to heat.

(1) Sensor failure

Failure manifestation: The stir-fryer cannot correctly sense the temperature or the state of the ingredients.

Solution: Check if the sensor is damaged or loose. If the sensor is damaged, replace it with a new sensor.

5. Mechanical component failure

(1) Abnormal drum speed

Failure manifestation: The stir-fryer drum speed is too fast or too slow.

Solution: Check if the drum motor is working properly and if the drive belt is loose. If the motor is faulty, repair or replace it; if the drive belt is loose, readjust it.

(2) Stirring device failure

Failure manifestation: The stirring device cannot work properly or stirs unevenly.

Solution: Check whether the motor and transmission parts of the stirring device are damaged. If damaged, the corresponding parts need to be replaced.

(3) The discharge port is blocked

Fault manifestation: The automatic stir-frying machine cannot discharge materials normally.

Solution: Check whether foreign objects block the discharge port. If blocked, it needs to be cleaned in time.

6. Other common faults

(1) Leakage protection device action

Fault manifestation: The automatic stir-frying machine suddenly stops working during use, and the leakage protection indicator lights up.

Solution: Check whether the equipment has leakage, such as whether there is leakage in the power cord, heater, and other parts. If leakage is found, it is necessary to cut off the power supply immediately and repair it.

(2) Abnormal noise of the equipment

Fault manifestation: The automatic stir-frying machine makes abnormal noises during operation.

Solution: Check whether there is foreign matter inside the equipment or whether the mechanical parts are loose. If there is foreign matter, it needs to be cleaned; if it is loose, it needs to be re-tightened.

(3) The equipment cannot be cleaned normally

Fault manifestation: The inside of the automatic stir-frying machine is difficult to clean, and food residues remain.

Solution: Check whether the cleaning mode of the equipment is working properly and whether the cleaning nozzle is blocked. If there is a problem with the cleaning mode, maintenance is required; if the nozzle is clogged, it needs to be cleaned.

II. Maintenance Difficulty Analysis

1. Simple faults

Power problems, heater failures, etc., can usually be solved by simple inspection and replacement of parts.

2. Complex faults

Such as control circuit problems, sensor problems, etc., may require professional maintenance personnel to check and repair.

3. Mechanical component failures

Such as abnormal drum speed, motor failure, etc., may require professional maintenance personnel to disassemble and inspect.

Summary

In general, the failure rate of automatic cooking machines is not high, but once a failure occurs, the difficulty of maintenance may vary depending on the type of failure. For some simple faults, users can check and solve them by themselves; for complex faults, it is recommended to contact professional maintenance personnel for processing to ensure the normal operation and safety of the equipment.

Common faults of cooking machines vary, from power problems to problems with heating systems, control circuits, mechanical parts, and other aspects, which may affect the normal operation of the equipment. When users encounter these faults, they can first try to check and solve some simple problems by themselves, such as power connection, cleaning, etc.

For more complex problems, such as circuit board failure, sensor damage, etc., it is recommended to contact professional maintenance personnel in time to ensure the safety and normal use of the equipment. At the same time, regular maintenance and care of the cooking machine can effectively reduce the probability of failure and extend the service life of the equipment.
