  If you're having difficulty opening the lid of your Instant Pot Electric Pressure Cooker, it's likely due to pressure inside the cooker or a stuck float valve. Make sure to release all the pressure according to the recipe and only attempt to open the lid after the float valve has dropped down. If the float valve is stuck, try quick-releasing the pressure and gently pressing the float valve with a long utensil. Clean the float valve, surrounding area, and lid thoroughly before the next use.

  If the inner pot is stuck to the lid when you open your Instant Pot Electric Pressure Cooker, it's likely due to suction created by cooling. To release the vacuum, press the quick release button down until it clicks into the Vent position.

  If the display of your Instant Pot Electric Pressure Cooker remains blank after connecting the power lead, it could be due to a bad power connection or a blown fuse.
