Why won't my Instant Pot Fryer air fryer lid turn on even when it's in place?
- A
  Anthony PrinceAug 22, 2025
  If the air fryer lid on your Instant Pot Fryer is in place but won't turn on, it could be due to: * A loose or broken connection between the air fryer lid and pressure cooker base. Ensure the Air Fryer Lid is seated correctly on the pressure cooker base. * A bad power connection or no power. Inspect the power lead on the pressure cooker base to ensure a good connection. Ensure the power lead is plugged firmly into the cooker base. * A blown electrical fuse. Contact Customer Care. * A microswitch that is dirty with grease or damaged. Contact Customer Care.

What to do if steam gushes from the steam release valve on my Instant Pot DUO CRISP AF 6 Fryer when sealed?
- S
  Steven FrazierAug 25, 2025
  If steam gushes from the steam release valve when the quick release button is in the Seal position, it could be due to a few reasons. First, ensure you have enough liquid in the inner pot. Add thin, water-based liquid according to the fryer size: 5.7L requires 1 ½ cups (375 mL), and 8L requires 2 cups (500 mL). Also, the steam release valve may not be seated properly, so flick the quick release button to ensure it is in the Seal position.

  Steam leaking from the side of the lid can occur for several reasons. First, ensure a sealing ring is installed. If it is, check if the sealing ring is damaged or not installed properly, and replace it if needed. Food debris attached to the sealing ring can also cause leaks, so remove the sealing ring and clean it thoroughly. Make sure the lid is closed properly by opening and then closing it again.

  Minor steam leaking or hissing from the steam release valve during the cook cycle can be normal. Check that the quick release button is in the Seal position. If it is, the multi-cooker might be regulating excess pressure, which is a normal process and requires no action.

Why is black smoke coming from my Instant Pot Fryer?
- S
  shigginsAug 27, 2025
  Black smoke from your Instant Pot Fryer can be due to several reasons. It may be caused by using an oil with a low smoke point. In this case, you should choose a neutral oil with a high smoke point, such as Canola, Avocado, Soybean, Safflower, or Rice Bran. Another cause might be food residue on the bottom of the inner pot or around the element on the air fryer lid. If this is the case, remove all accessories from the inner pot and thoroughly clean the inner pot, air fryer lid, and all accessories.

How to open an Instant Pot Fryer pressure cooking lid that is stuck?
- C
  craigyatesSep 1, 2025
  If you're having difficulty opening the pressure cooking lid of your Instant Pot Fryer, it could be due to: * Pressure inside the cooker. Release pressure according to the recipe; only open the lid after the float valve has dropped down. * The float valve being stuck in the popped-up position due to food debris or residue. Ensure steam is completely released by quick-releasing pressure, then press the float valve gently with a long utensil. Open the lid carefully and thoroughly clean the float valve, surrounding area, and lid before the next use.

Avoid air frying foods with a high fat content. * Food being moist. Pat dry moist food ingredients before air frying. * Seasoning on food has blown into the element. Be careful when seasoning food. Spray vegetables and meats before adding seasoning so it adheres to the ingredients.
