  If you're having difficulty opening the lid of your Instant Pot Cooker, it's likely due to pressure inside the cooker. Release the pressure according to the recipe you're using. Ensure the float valve has dropped down completely before attempting to open the lid.

  If you're having difficulty closing the lid on your Instant Pot Cooker, it could be due to a couple of reasons. First, check that the sealing ring is properly installed and snug behind the sealing ring rack. Second, if the contents in the cooker are still hot, set the Steam Release switch to Vent, then lower the lid onto the cooker base.

Why is steam gushing from the steam release vent of my Instant Pot Cooker?
- V
  Vincent DavisAug 23, 2025
  If steam gushes from the steam release vent when the Steam Release switch is in the Seal position on your Instant Pot Cooker, it could be due to a few reasons: * There is not enough liquid in the inner pot. Add thin, water-based liquid to the inner pot according to its size: 6 Quart: 1 1/2 cups (12 oz / 375 mL), 8 Quart: 2 cups (16 oz / 500 mL). * The internal steam release valve is not seated properly. Check the Steam Release switch to ensure it’s set to Seal.

  Karen LewisAug 27, 2025
  If the inner pot is stuck to the lid of your Instant Pot cooker, it's likely due to the cooling of the inner pot creating suction, which causes it to adhere to the lid. To release the vacuum, set the Steam Release to Vent.

Why does my Instant Pot Cooker make clicking sounds?

  ginajonesAug 31, 2025
  Occasional clicking or light cracking sounds from your Instant Pot Cooker are usually normal. This can be the sound of power switching and the expanding pressure board when changing temperatures. Also, check that the bottom of the inner pot is not wet. If it is, wipe the exterior surfaces of the inner pot and ensure the heating element is dry before inserting the inner pot into the cooker base.

  Minor steam leaking or hissing from the steam release vent during the cooking cycle is normal for Instant Pot Cookers. This indicates that the cooker is regulating excess pressure, so no action is required.
