Steamboat cooker dead, is it usually the fuse in the controller?

[Thomas Martinez]

More peoples experiencing steamboat and hot pot cooker issues where they just will not turn on?
In most cases, this is usualy on the controller side of the cooker, not the base that heat the pot.
If you take the cooker apart, you’ll mostly find just the heating element down in the pot. The fuse are inside the controller. Open the controller, find the fuse, and use a multimeter to test for continuity. If the multimeter does not indicate that the component is complete (blown fuse), then replace the fuse. This is usualy the issue, these cookers are notoriously simple in their function and design but people just tend to assume the heating element are the problem.

9 times outta 10 its the thermal fuse on the element side actualy, not the controller fuse. People miss it cuz its tucked against the heating plate with a little metal clips. Controller fuse blowing usually means something downstream shorted.

Wait so are we talking the little glass cartridge type or the ceramic ones? I opened up a cheap induction one last year and it had a ceramic 10A in there which surprised me for how flimsy the rest of the build was.
