  If air is escaping from the rim of the lid of your Cuisinart Electric Pressure Cooker, it could be due to several reasons. First, ensure that the sealing ring is installed correctly. If it is, check for any food residue on the sealing ring and clean it if necessary. If the sealing ring is worn out, you will need to replace it. Finally, make sure the lid is fully rotated and locked properly.

  If air escapes from the float valve of your Cuisinart Electric Pressure Cooker, it could be due to food stuck on the sealing ring of the float valve. Clean the sealing ring to resolve this. Alternatively, the sealing ring on the float may be worn out, in which case you should replace it.

  If the lid of your Cuisinart Electric Pressure Cooker does not lock, it could be because the ring is not properly installed. Try reinstalling the ring. Another possible cause is that the float is seized by the push rod. In this case, push the rod with your hands.

Why won't the float rise in my Cuisinart CPC-600 Electric Pressure Cooker?

  April PorterAug 22, 2025
  The float may not rise in your Cuisinart Electric Pressure Cooker because the pressure limit valve is not placed properly. Ensure the device is set to 'Pressure'. Another reason could be insufficient food and water; check the recipe for the correct quantities. If air is escaping from the rim of the lid and the pressure limit valve, call our Consumer Service Center toll free at 1-800-726-0190.
