Possible Causes
Leaking silicone gasket on the lid, steam release valve left in the venting position, damaged or dirty float valve seal, internal steam leak at the pressure sensor or fittings.
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug and allow the cooker to cool and depressurize before inspection.
- Check valve position: Ensure the steam release valve is set to the sealing position according to the manual.
- Inspect lid gasket: Remove the silicone sealing ring from the lid. Check for cracks, deformation, or food buildup. Clean thoroughly or replace if hardened or stretched.
- Clean float valve: Disassemble the float valve (if accessible) and clean the pin and silicone cap. Ensure it moves freely and seals properly.
- Check for steam leaks: During a test run with water only, observe for escaping steam around the lid, handle, or sensor fittings. Replace any leaking seals or O-rings.
