Breville Pressure Cooker OHP Error — Fix

What Does This Error Mean?

OHP means the Breville Fast Slow Pro's overheat protection circuit has activated and shut off the heating element. The unit reached an unsafe internal temperature, usually due to insufficient liquid in the pot, a blocked steam valve, or restricted ventilation around the base.

How to Fix It

  1. Press Stop and unplug the unit

  2. Check the liquid level

Frequently Asked Questions

Is OHP the same as a burn error on other pressure cookers?

They are related but different. A burn error (as seen on Instant Pot) detects scorching at the base of the inner pot. OHP on the Breville is a broader overheat protection that triggers when the entire thermal system exceeds safe limits — it can be caused by dry cooking, blocked venting, or environmental heat.

My Breville shows OHP every time I cook — what does that mean?

Recurring OHP on every cook usually indicates the thermal sensor or heating element is faulty, or the unit is consistently being operated with too little liquid. If you have confirmed correct liquid levels each time, contact Breville support — a persistent OHP points to a hardware fault.
