What to do if my Fagor Electric Pressure Cooker won't open after cooking?
- B
  Brian HamiltonAug 15, 2025
  If you can't open your Fagor Electric Pressure Cooker after cooking, it's likely due to remaining pressure inside. Use the automatic or cold water release method to release any remaining pressure and ensure the pressure indicator has dropped before attempting to open it again. Also, check that the pressure lock is moved down towards the end of the handle to the open position.

Why is my Fagor Electric Pressure Cooker not building pressure?
- H
  Helen HebertAug 18, 2025
  If the pressure is not building up in your Fagor Electric Pressure Cooker, it could be due to several reasons. First, ensure you're using at least ½ cup of liquid, but not filling the cooker more than halfway. Second, verify that the pressure cooker is properly closed to create a tight seal. Third, the valve might be dirty, so clean it periodically. Fourth, check that the silicone gasket is clean, correctly positioned, and not worn out (replace it annually if you use the cooker frequently). Finally, confirm that the operating valve is set to the pressure setting (pot picture) and not the steam release position.

Why is steam escaping from the side of my Fagor Electric Pressure Cooker lid?
- T
  Teresa BennettAug 21, 2025
  If steam is escaping around the lid of your Fagor Electric Pressure Cooker, it could be due to overfilling, improper closure, or a faulty gasket. Ensure you're not filling the cooker more than half or ⅔ full, especially with liquids or foods that expand during cooking. Double-check that the pressure cooker is closed tightly to create a proper seal. Also, make sure the silicone gasket is clean, correctly positioned, and not worn. Replace the gasket at least once a year if you frequently use the pressure cooker.

Why is there so much steam coming from my Fagor Electric Pressure Cooker?
- M
  Mr. Gabriel SpencerAug 26, 2025
  If a strong jet of steam is escaping from the operating valve of your Fagor Electric Pressure Cooker, it might be because the burner heat is too high, the valve is dirty, or the safety valve is malfunctioning. Lower the heat to allow only a gentle stream of steam. Check the valve for food particles and remove them with a toothpick. If the safety valve is malfunctioning, contact the Fagor Customer Service Department at 1-800-207-0806 or email at info@fagoramerica.com for a replacement.

Why is the pressure indicator up but no steam releasing from my Fagor Electric Pressure Cooker?
- J
  John WilsonAug 28, 2025
  If the visual pressure indicator has popped up on your Fagor Electric Pressure Cooker, but no steam is being released by the operating valve, it could be due to insufficient liquid, a dirty or obstructed valve, or insufficient burner heat. Ensure there is at least half a cup of liquid in the cooker, or 2 cups if the cooking time exceeds 10 minutes. Periodically clean the valve, especially after cooking foods like dried beans. Increase the heat to medium-high until a gentle, steady stream of steam is released.

How to fix undercooked food in Fagor Electric Pressure Cooker?
- P
  Patrick KochSep 1, 2025
  If your food is undercooked in the Fagor Electric Pressure Cooker, it might be because the cooking time was too short or the pressure release method was not adequately used. Always verify the cooking time in your recipe. If the food is still undercooked, extend the cooking time by approximately 1 to 2 minutes under pressure, or simmer without the lid until the desired texture is achieved. Consider using the natural release method to allow the food to continue cooking as the pressure drops.

How to prevent overcooked food in Fagor Electric Pressure Cooker?
- P
  Pamela BaldwinSep 4, 2025
  If your food is overcooked when using the Fagor Electric Pressure Cooker, it's likely due to excessive cooking time or using an inadequate pressure release method. Always check the recommended cooking times in your recipe. If food is consistently overcooked, reduce the cooking time by at least 1 to 2 minutes. Use the automatic or cold water release method to drop the pressure immediately.

Why is water leaking from the handle of my Fagor Electric Pressure Cooker?
- N
  Nathan EllisSep 7, 2025
  If you notice water leaking from the lower handle of your Fagor Electric Pressure Cooker while it's building pressure, it's likely due to steam condensing on the inside of the lid. Ensure the lower handle is tightly screwed to the pot before each use or after all pressure has been released; tighten the screws with a screwdriver if necessary. Also, wash and dry the gasket after every use, and oil it regularly.
