Possible Causes

Worn or compressed Insinger door gasket, Misaligned door or hood hinges, Excessive internal pressure from blocked vent, High booster temperature causing excess steam

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Beware of hot steam. Disconnect power and allow the unit to cool before adjusting seals.

  • Inspect door/hood gasket: Look for flat spots, cracks, or hardened sections. Replace the gasket if it no longer seals evenly.
  • Adjust hinges and latches: Ensure the door or hood closes squarely against the frame. Adjust hinges or latch tension to improve compression on the gasket.
  • Check venting: Verify that any factory vent or condensate hood is not blocked. Clear obstructions to allow steam to escape properly.
  • Review temperature settings: Confirm that tank and booster temperatures are within Insinger specifications and not set excessively high.
