I keep getting an E5 error code, even with the lid off while using the brown/saute setting. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Amy Springer This code appears when either the lid or Steam Release Valve is being used incorrectly for a non-pressure cook setting. Please note that the lid should never be used when using the Brown/Sauté setting. When using the lid during the Slow Cook or Yogurt settings, the Steam Release Valve must be turned to the open or “Release” position. If you receive the E5 Notification during any of these situations, then simply remove the lid while using Brown/Sauté, or correctly position Steam Release Valve to “Release” while using Slow Cooking or Yogurt, and then unplug the unit for at least 5 seconds, re-plug it in and re-program your cook settings to begin cooking. from here
The wire on cap broken, soldering wire. It working perfect.
using crockpot in sauté mode without lid showing E5 error which makes no sense as there is no lid in sauté mode what to do?
Mine had same problem. I ended up calling Sunbeam/Crockpot and they told me it is a chip malfunction and told me to return it for a replacement. Hope that helps.
Mine does the same thing but I found out if you just heat it up first without anything in it it works fine
Hi, I opened the bottom of the pot, unscrewed all the screws, took a picture as it was, and screwed it up again. Everything started to work.
Unscrew the bottom of the pot with a screwdriver. Disconnect all wires. Then put it back as it was. It should work.
