  If the air fryer lid of your Instant Pot Electric Pressure Cooker is not turning on, ensure the appliance is properly plugged into a grounded 120 V outlet. Also, check that the air fryer lid is correctly seated on the pressure cooker base and gently press down. If the issue persists, verify the outlet is powered and inspect the power cord for any damage. Contact Customer Care if there's damage to the cord, the electrical fuse has blown, or the microswitch is dirty or damaged.

Why is white smoke coming from my Instant Pot PRO CRISP Electric Pressure Cooker air fryer lid?
- S
  Sheila VaughnAug 20, 2025
  If you see white smoke coming from the air fryer lid of your Instant Pot Electric Pressure Cooker, it could be due to cooking foods with a high fat content. Try to avoid air frying fatty foods. It may also be caused by water vaporizing. Pat dry moist food ingredients before air frying and avoid adding water or other liquid to the inner pot when air frying. Finally, seasoning on food has blown into the element. Spray vegetables and meats with oil before seasoning to help the seasoning stick.

Why is black smoke coming from my Instant Pot PRO CRISP Electric Pressure Cooker air fryer lid?
- C
  Colleen HicksAug 26, 2025
  If you see black smoke coming from the air fryer lid of your Instant Pot Electric Pressure Cooker, allow the air fryer lid to cool to room temperature before cleaning. Remove any food and accessories, then thoroughly clean the affected area to eliminate food residue on the heating coil, in the cooking chamber, or on the accessories. It may also be caused by using an oil with a low smoke point. Choose a neutral oil with a high smoke point, such as canola, avocado, soybean, safflower, or rice bran oil. Contact Customer Care if the reason is faulty circuit or heating element.

What to do if I have difficulty opening the Instant Pot Electric Pressure Cooker lid?

  Sally LynchAug 28, 2025
  If you are having difficulty opening the pressure cooking lid of your Instant Pot Electric Pressure Cooker, release pressure according to the recipe. Only open the lid after the float valve has dropped down. If the float valve is stuck in the popped-up position due to food debris or residue, make sure steam is completely released by quick releasing pressure, then press 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. If the contents may be under pressure, DO NOT attempt to force the lid open to avoid scalding injury.

  If you are having difficulty closing the pressure cooking lid of your Instant Pot Electric Pressure Cooker, reposition the sealing ring, ensuring it is snug behind the sealing ring rack. If the float valve is in the popped-up position, gently press it downward with a long utensil. If the contents in the multicooker are still hot, move the quick release switch to the Vent position, then slowly lower the lid onto the multicooker base, allowing heat to dissipate.
