The egg cookers are widely used by people who want to cook (or may we say boil) the eggs quickly. For this reason, they choose the best brands and how is it possible that they don’t opt for Dash?
These egg cookers have premium design and features but there are still some Dash Deluxe egg cooker problems that impact the users. So, are you ready to find out the problems and their solutions?
Dash Deluxe Egg Cooker Problems
1) Egg Cooker Suddenly Shuts Down
When the egg cooker shuts down, it is only because the eggs are done. With Dash Deluxe egg cookers, the users can set the cooking time, so once the cooking time is completed, the egg cooker will automatically shut off. That being said, just check if the egg cooker has completed the cooking function and the time is up.
On the other hand, if the egg cooker shuts off but the cooking time isn’t completed yet, it is because there are power issues. Primarily, there are two power issues, such as faulty or damaged power cable or a non-functional power outlet. The first option is to check the power cord and ensure there are no damages. That’s because the damaged cables will impact the electricity transmission issues.
For this purpose, simply replace the cable. On the contrary, if there are no damages to the power cable, simply plug your egg cooker into a different power outlet (the power outlet must be working). Not to forget, the power outlet might show functionality issues if there are voltage fluctuations in your area, so confirm that as well.
Last but not least, the egg cooker might suddenly shut off because there are hardware issues (some electrical components of the egg cooker might be blown out or fused). So, if you are suspecting some hardware issues, call the technician to replace these parts!
2) Electric Shocks
Boiling the eggs should be harmless but if it’s giving off electric shocks, you might have played around with the polarized plug. The polarized plug is designed with one wide and one narrow blade and it’s done to reduce the chances of electric shock. The plug will fit into the power source only in one way, so if it doesn’t fit, you must reverse the polarized plug.
On the other hand, if the polarized plug doesn’t fit into the power outlet, you must call the technician to fix the plug. Keep in mind that you cannot tamper with the plug on your own because such tampering can result in electric shocks.
3) Indicator Light Stays Off
The egg cooker obviously has the indicator light to show if the eggs are cooking or boiling or not. In case the indicator light is off, you might not have plugged the power cord into the power source. The cable/cord has to be firmly plugged into the power source to ensure it’s working properly. Secondly, the power source must be working and should deliver proper electric signals.
If there are no issues with the power outlet or power cord, don’t forget to check the power button and make sure that it’s pushed in the “on” position. Lastly, see if there is a fused or tripped circuit breaker; if there are any such errors, replace or switch on the circuit breaker, respectively.
4) Overcooked Or Undercooked Eggs
The eggs are time-sensitive and minor discrepancies in cooking time can impact how the eggs turn out. You have to remember that an egg’s boiled texture depends on cooking time (the cooking time is different for hard boiling, medium boiling, and soft boiling). For this reason, you’ve to consult the Dash Deluxe egg cooker’s manual to determine the correct cooking time.
Secondly, the users need to determine the correct amount of water to add to the egg cooker to ensure it boils the eggs to perfection. For instance, if you add too much water, it can overcook the eggs and vice versa.
Moreover, when the buzzer buzzes on the egg cooker, make sure that you remove the egg to ensure it doesn’t overcook. Also, if you don’t have to use the eggs immediately, put them in cold water or a refrigerator because it cools the egg and will stop further cooking!
