Binatone Lid Lock Misalignment / Worn Lock Components

Lid does not lock properly; cooker refuses to start pressure programs or leaks steam around the lid.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Bent lid locking bar, Worn lock catch on body, Loose lid hinge screws, Deformed lid gasket area

Safety first: Unplug the cooker before adjusting mechanical parts.

Inspect hinge and lock: Open the lid and check that the hinge screws are tight and the lid does not wobble excessively.
Check lock engagement: Close the lid slowly and observe whether the lock bar fully engages the body catch. Adjust hinge screws if misaligned.
Clean lock area: Remove any food debris from the lock slot and bar.
Replace worn parts: If the lock bar or catch is visibly worn or bent, replace the lid lock assembly or lid body.
