My small EZ Life 3-cup rice cooker has a problem with the magnetic switch. When I first plug it in, the switch engages, then disconnects after a few minutes, as indicated by the red on light going off. It does this without me turning the cooker on. Then when the light goes out, I press the switch and it makes momentary contact as indicated by the red light turning on. but the moment I remove my finger from the switch, the magnetic contact opens. I push the switch, the light turns on, but I remove my finger, the light goes off. Obviously, the magnetic switch is not attracting the metal contact point. The problem is the the rice is still uncooked so the magnet could not have reached its designed cutoff point.
Any ideas?
