Their egg cookers are popular among people who love to eat eggs but there are Hamilton Beach egg cooker problems that interrupt the egg cooking experience. So, are you ready to find out the details about it?
Hamilton Beach Egg Cooker Problems
1) Power Light Isn’t Switching On
The power light is basically an indicator that the egg cooker is switched on and is working properly (and cooking your eggs). When the power light doesn’t switch on, you have to check out the below-mentioned steps;
- First of all, you must ensure that the power cord of the egg cooker is properly plugged in. This is because if the power cord isn’t plugged in, the lights will stay out. So, check the power cable and ensure proper plugging
- If the cable is already plugged in properly but the power light is still out, you have to check if the power outlet is working properly or not. This is because the power outlet is responsible for transmitting the power signals (these power signals are responsible for powering the unit, right?). So, just experiment with a different power outlet and the egg cooker is likely to work
- Thirdly, the power light might not switch on because you didn’t press the power button. You must look for the power button present at the front side of the Hamilton Beach egg cooker and press it in. As a result, the power light will switch on
- In various cases, when the power light is still not switching on, there are chances of power failure in the home or building. For this purpose, check the electrical breaker and switch it on. As a result, the electricity connection will be restored and the power light will switch on
2) Eggs Are Undercooked Or Overcooked
When people invest in Hamilton Beach egg cooker, they are looking for high-end results or at least properly cooked eggs. So, if the eggs are overcooked or undercooked, there are the following reasons as well as the solutions with you;
- The first step is to add a sufficient amount of water to the egg cooker. The users can consult with the “using your egg cooker” in the instruction manual and see how much water is needed to cook the eggs. Keep in mind water quantity is different for how you want the eggs to turn out (soft-boiled, medium-boiled, and hard-boiled eggs)
- If you are already choosing the right amount of water for cooking the eggs in the egg cooker but the outcome is still not right, do consider the cooking time. The instruction will have the recommended cooking time for hard-boiled, medium-boiled, and soft-boiled eggs. So, look for the right cooking time and set it on the egg cooker to ensure the eggs come out perfectly
- In particular, if the eggs are coming out undercooked, it is basically because you used the eggs that had room temperature. So, if the eggs are at room temperature, you can use cold water in the egg cooker. Generally, it’s preferred to use refrigerated eggs in the Hamilton Beach egg cooker
- If the eggs are boiled but have the green ring around the egg yolk, it simply means that the eggs are overcooked. To be honest, there is nothing to be worried about. However, for future reference, just choose the correct water amount and cooking time
3) Giving Electricity Shocks
If you touch the egg cooker and you feel minor electric shocks, it can be pretty dangerous. This is because electric shocks can harm you. That being said, it happens when you immerse the electrical cord or the egg cooker in the water or other liquid. For instance, if you clean the egg cooker with vinegar or water but don’t dry it well, it can even result in electrical shocks.
In simpler words, you must keep the egg cooker away from liquid because it can cause shocks. Moreover, you must check that the egg cooker is damaged on some parts and the electrical components are exposed. If there are chances of exposed electrical components or cords, you must call the technician and ask them to fix the exposed parts.
