What to do if I have difficulty closing the pressure cooking lid of my Instant Pot Fryer?
- J
  Joel NelsonSep 8, 2025
  If you're having difficulty closing the pressure cooking lid on your Instant Pot Fryer, it could be due to: * The sealing ring not being properly fitted. Re-position the sealing ring, ensuring it is snug behind the sealing ring rack. * The float valve being in the popped-up position. Gently press the float valve downward with a long utensil. * The contents in the cooker still being hot. Press the quick release button down until it clicks into the Vent position, then lower the lid onto the cooker base slowly, allowing heat to dissipate.

What to do if the inner pot is stuck to the pressure cooking lid of my Instant Pot DUO CRISP AF 6?

  Carly WellsSep 12, 2025
  If the inner pot is stuck to the pressure cooking lid when the cooker is opened, it may be because the cooling of the inner pot may create suction, causing the inner pot to adhere to the lid. To release the vacuum, press the quick release button down until it clicks into Vent position.

  Edward CarrilloSep 12, 2025
  Minor steam leaking or hissing from the steam release valve during the cook cycle of your Instant Pot Fryer can be due to: * The quick release button not being in the Seal position. Flick the quick release button to ensure it is in the Seal position. * The cooker regulating excess pressure. This is normal, and no action is required.

Why does my Instant Pot Fryer make occasional clicking or light cracking sounds?

  williamsericaSep 12, 2025
  Occasional clicking or light cracking sounds from your Instant Pot Fryer can be due to: * The sound of power switching and expanding pressure board when changing temperatures. This is normal; no action is needed. * The bottom of the inner pot being wet. Wipe exterior surfaces of the inner pot. Ensure the heating element is dry before inserting the inner pot into the cooker base.
