It’s almost impossible to come across someone who hates rice. It is such a popular dish due to its versatility. But cooking it can be tricky – even for seasoned chefs. Lucky for you, manufacturers like Black and Decker come to the rescue with rice cookers. The cooker can prepare your rice in about half an hour and keep it fresh after that. But what do you do when your rice cooker stops working?
If your Black and Decker rice cooker is not working, you can try fixing it by resetting it. First, plug in the power cord of your rice cooker to the power source. Then press and hold the cancel button for about five seconds. Then hit the start button, and your rice cooker is now reset.
You might think unplugging the power cable is the best way to reset your Black and Decker rice cooker. However, that would be the wrong approach since it won’t reset the menu features.
Black and Decker Rice Cooker Button Won’t Stay Down
Rice cookers are such a brilliant invention. But sometimes, you might find yourself in an unfortunate situation – your rice cooker button won’t stay down.
If your Black and Decker rice cooker button won’t stay down, it’s most likely due to a faulty thermostat, a fried circuit board, a broken relay, or a damaged power cord. Also, check the power cord, there is a high possibility that it’s broken, especially if you keep it pressed against an object at a weird angle.
A broken cord might supply intermittent power, making it impossible for the rice cooker button to stay down. The solution would be to try a new cable. Another common cause for this problem is a broken relay. You can fix it by detaching it from the rice cooker and pressing the spring under it back down to 5 mm.
Black and Decker Rice Cooker Light Not Working
The Black and Decker rice cooker has a light indicating system. Should the light stop working, you might not know when your rice is ready – so it might get burnt.
If your Black and Decker rice cooker light is not working properly, the problem could be with the fuses. Therefore, you need to get them replaced. Alternatively, you can replace the lights altogether.
It is important to get this issue evaluated immediately. Otherwise, you will be forced to open the rice cooker now and then. It not only ruins the taste of your rice but could also ruin the appliance.
Black and Decker Rice Cooker No Power
You might find yourself in a position where you need a quick bowl of rice. So you put everything in place, switch the power on, but your rice cooker does not turn on. It can be so frustrating.
If your Black and Decker rice cooker has no power, the power cord is likely damaged. Check whether the cord has cuts or frays that could be interrupting the power flow. If that’s the situation, you will need to replace the power cord.
If the power cord works fine, the next possible reason could be broken internal circuitry. Consider getting a professional to take a look at the connections.
Black and Decker Rice Cooker Not Cooking
It’s pretty standard that well-cooked rice should be soft – but not soggy. So, if you notice that your rice comes out crispy, it could indicate a problem.
Your Black and Decker rice cooker is not cooking properly, probably due to the wrong water ratio. Be sure to check your recipe for the right measurements. It is also possible that the heat is too high, making the water evaporate before the rice fully cooks. So you need to adjust the settings.
It is also essential to confirm that you set the right duration to give your rice enough time to cook properly.

Black and Decker Rice Cooker Not Heating
Rice cookers are straightforward appliances. You might be surprised if you load it up one day and push the button, but it does not heat up as it should.
A faulty power cord is the most common cause of Black and Decker rice cooker heating problems. There could also be a problem with the thermostat, thermal fuse, or heating element. All these parts rely on each other, so the whole system is compromised if one fails.
Your first line of action should be figuring out which part is not working – a case of trial and error. Once you find the culprit, you can repair or replace it. However, some parts, such as the heating element, are incredibly expensive to replace.
Black and Decker Rice Cooker Stuck On Warm
As we mentioned earlier, a rice cooker not only cooks the rice. It also keeps it warm and fresh long after. However, you might encounter a problem whereby the rice cooker is stuck on warm.
If your Black and Decker rice cooker is stuck on warm, there is a chance it has a broken relay. The relay senses the temperature inside the pot and switches to warm when appropriate. If the relay is broken, the cycle ends early, so your rice cooker goes to warm mode before it should.
To fix the relay, start by unplugging your rice cooker. Then empty the pot and turn the rice cooker upside down. Remove the outer panel and look for the relay – usually in the middle of the pot. The relay has a spring beneath it. Detach the spring, then press it down. Pressing the spring down significantly improves temperature detection.
Black and Decker Rice Cooker Won’t Turn On
Are you facing trouble while trying to turn your rice cooker on?
Your Black and Decker rice cooker won’t turn on because the button is faulty. That can happen if you have been pressing it a little too hard in the past. Or the button could be internally broken. The solution would be to replace the button with a new one.
Besides, the button could fail if you accidentally hit it with a heavy object. But no need to panic. Replacement is quite easy.

If your Black and Decker rice cooker doesn’t stay on cook, the circuit board may be faulty. This is the component that controls all functions of the rice cooker. When it’s damaged, it cannot process your inputs properly.
The circuit board could fail in case of a large power spike or extremely high temperatures inside the rice cooker. If your rice cooker is still covered under warranty, you can get the circuit board replaced. If not, you might want to compare the cost of replacing it against the cost of getting a new one.
