Cause: The bottom of the rice cooker is warped, causing insufficient heat contact leading to automatic light jumping and the cooker lid not closing tightly. The rice cooker's thermal relay cuts off too early, and the heating plate gets dirty due to food debris, affecting the rice cooking process.
Solution: Thoroughly clean the heating plate, check the thermal relay, and replace it if it's too old. If the bottom of the cooker is warped, consider replacing the inner pot.
