how to fix? brand new, stopped working after i used a bowl from my old rice cooker.
so i opened the bottom, used a voltage tester, detected voltage across several points.
is there a fuse i can't find?

It's really easy to horsefrick the heating elements in cheap rice cookers.
yeah, but if the lights stay dark, means it don't work
There must be a thermal fuse somewhere.
What said. You blew the thermal fuse.
It's not worth fixing. Buy a Zojirushi and make sure it's at least an induction model; preferably also a pressure cooker model but that's less important.
>it's not worth fixing
Thermal fuses cost <$1. But if it's brand new, OP should be able to get it replaced under warranty.
Easy fix: throw it out, buy a zoji. Not even kidding, mine has been going on 2+ decades now.
I fixed it, thanks guys.
Don't buy Chinese rice cookers
Get a tiger or zojirushi
I bet not even people in China actually use that cheap crap for themselves
Another black and decker advertisement thread?..
buddy you paid like 30 bucks for a rice cooker, just throw it in the garbage
Do they not have warranties or consumer rights in your country?
