  Steam may leak from the side of the Instant Pot Electric Pressure Cooker lid due to several reasons: * There is no sealing ring in the lid: Install a sealing ring. * The sealing ring is damaged or not installed properly: Replace the sealing ring. * Food debris is attached to the sealing ring: Remove the sealing ring and clean it thoroughly. * The lid is not closed properly: Open, then close the lid. * The sealing ring rack is warped or off-center: Remove the sealing ring from the lid, then check the sealing ring rack for bends or warps. Contact Customer Care. * The inner pot rim may be misshapen: Check for deformation and contact Customer Care.

  If you have difficulty opening the lid of your Instant Pot Electric Pressure Cooker: * The contents may be under pressure. To avoid scalding injury, do NOT attempt to force the lid open. * There may be pressure inside the multicooker. Release pressure according to the recipe. Only open the lid after the float valve has dropped down. * The float valve may be stuck in the popped-up position due to food debris or residue. Release pressure completely, then tap the float valve gently with a long utensil. * Open the lid cautiously, then thoroughly clean the float valve, surrounding area, and lid before next use.

  It may be difficult to close the lid on your Instant Pot Electric Pressure Cooker because: * The sealing ring is not properly installed. Reposition the sealing ring, ensuring it is snug behind the sealing ring rack. * The float valve is in the popped-up position. Gently press the float valve downward with a long utensil. * The contents in the multicooker are still hot. Hold the quick release switch in the Vent position as you lower the lid onto the multicooker base slowly, allowing heat to dissipate.

Why doesn't the float valve rise on my Instant Pot DUO PLUS 60 V3 Electric Pressure Cooker?
- M
  Mackenzie MyersAug 22, 2025
  The float valve on your Instant Pot Electric Pressure Cooker may not rise because: * There is food debris on the float valve or float valve silicone cap. Remove the float valve from the lid and clean it thoroughly. Perform the Initial test run to check for function and record your findings. Contact Customer Care. * There is too little liquid in the inner pot. Check for scorching on the bottom of the inner pot. Add thin, water-based liquid to the inner pot according to its size. (6 Qt: 1 ½ cups (375 mL / ~12 oz); 8 Qt: 2 cups (500 mL / ~16 oz))

What to do if the inner pot is stuck to the lid of my Instant Pot DUO PLUS 60 V3 Electric Pressure Cooker after opening?

  Tina MorrisAug 27, 2025
  If the inner pot is stuck to the lid of your Instant Pot Electric Pressure Cooker after opening, it may be caused by the cooling of the inner pot creating suction, causing the inner pot to adhere to the lid. To release the vacuum, move the quick release switch to the Vent position.
