Title
Rice Cooker Zojirushi Rice Cooker NS-RNC10 Cooking Switch Replacement
Introduction
This guide shows how to repair the internal cooking switch on a Zojirushi rice cooker NS-RNC10. Although the instructions are specific to this device, the general principles should apply to a large class of similar devices.
The symptom of the problem addressed is simple: you load up your rice cooker as usual, press the "Cook" switch, expecting the "Cook" light to come on. Instead, nothing happens except that the "Keep Warm" light stays on. Your rice doesn't cook, and you become hungry for answers on iFixit.com.
In this case the fault was in a microswitch inside the unit. Lucky for us, the switch is easy to access, easy to test, and not that difficult to replace.
