  If you notice steam leaking from the rim of the lid of your Dura Electric Electric Pressure Cooker, there are several possible reasons. First, ensure that the silicon gasket (sealing ring) is installed. If it is, check for any food debris attached to the silicon gasket and clean it. If the gasket is damaged, you will need to replace it. Finally, make sure the lid is closed properly by opening it and closing it again.

  If you're having difficulty opening the lid of your Dura Electric Electric Pressure Cooker, it's likely due to pressure inside the cooker. To resolve this, position the steam release valve to the venting position to reduce the internal pressure. Once the pressure is completely released, you should be able to open the lid.

  If steam leaks from the float valve of your Dura Electric Electric Pressure Cooker, it could be due to food debris on the float valve silicone seal. Try cleaning the float valve silicone seal. Alternatively, the float valve silicone ring may be worn out, in which case you should replace it.
