  Steam leaking from the side of the Instant Pot Electric Pressure Cooker lid can occur for several reasons: * There might be no sealing ring installed; in this case, install one. * The sealing ring could be damaged or improperly installed, requiring replacement or repositioning. * Food debris might be present on the sealing ring; remove and thoroughly clean it. * The lid might not be closed correctly; open and then close it again. * The sealing ring rack could be warped or off-center; inspect it for bends or warps, and contact Customer Care if needed. * The inner pot rim might be misshapen; check for deformation and contact Customer Care.

What to do if I have difficulty opening the lid of my Instant Pot Pro Plus 60 Electric Pressure Cooker?

  If you're having trouble opening the lid of your Instant Pot Electric Pressure Cooker, it's likely due to pressure inside the multicooker. Release the pressure according to your recipe's instructions and only attempt to open the lid after the float valve has dropped down. Another potential cause is the float valve being stuck in the popped-up position because of food debris or residue. In this case, make sure steam is completely released by quick releasing pressure, then gently press the float valve with a long utensil. Open the lid cautiously, then thoroughly clean the float valve, surrounding area and lid before next use.

  If you're having difficulty closing the lid of your Instant Pot Electric Pressure Cooker, several factors could be the cause: * The sealing ring might not be properly installed. Reposition the sealing ring, ensuring it's snug behind the sealing ring rack. * The float valve might be in the popped-up position. Gently press the float valve downward with a long utensil. * The contents in the multicooker might still be hot. Lower the lid onto the multicooker base slowly, allowing heat to dissipate.

  If the display of your Instant Pot Electric Pressure Cooker remains blank after connecting the power cord, it could be due to a bad power connection or no power. Check the outlet to ensure it is powered and inspect the power cord for damage. If you notice damage, contact Customer Care. Another possibility is that the multicooker’s electrical fuse has blown, in that case contact Customer Care.

Why is there minor steam leaking from the steam release valve of my Instant Pot Pro Plus 60 Electric Pressure Cooker?
- E
  Erica OwensAug 31, 2025
  Minor steam leaking or hissing from the steam release valve during cooking with your Instant Pot Electric Pressure Cooker can occur if the quick release switch is not in the Seal position; in this case, move the quick release switch into the Seal position. It is also normal if the multicooker is regulating excess pressure, no action is required. Also, there might be not enough liquid in the inner pot, add thin, water-based liquid to the inner pot according to its size (8 Qt: 2 cups (500 mL / ~16 oz)).

  If the inner pot of your Instant Pot Electric Pressure Cooker is stuck to the lid when opened, it's likely due to cooling of the inner pot creating suction. To release the vacuum, move the quick release switch into the Vent position.
