do you guys use a particular multimeter to test the Instant Pot for continuity?
any 10 dollar harbor freight one will do the job fine for continuity testing. You don’t need a fluke multimeter for this.
slightly off topic but have you guys noticed that these models have a fuse that is soldered in instead of using a fuse holder? If it were in a holder people could just pop it in and out in 30 seconds. Instead you need to open up appliances with mains voltage circuitry and an iron to pop the fuses out.

100% intentional. Planned obsolescence is alive and well. My grandmas pressure cooker is from 1978 and the only thing that ever fail on it was the rubber gasket.

actually it’s not purely malicious design. A fuse holder add another potential point of failure. It’s a common design in many other consumer products at this price point.

fwiw the inline fuse blew on one of these. Power cord was fine. The issue was actually with the control board. Found a cracked solder joint on the main board. Might be the reason the inline fuse blew. Soldered it back up and it turned on again. So the power cord could be an issue with the control board.

that’s interesting. How did you spot the crack in the joint?
