How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off and unplug the cooker. Allow it to depressurize naturally before inspecting the lid.
- Visual inspection: Look for visible cracks in the plastic lid housing near the handle or hinge.
- Tighten screws: With the unit cool, gently tighten the lid handle and hinge screws to ensure the lid is clamped evenly.
- Inspect inner lid: Remove the stainless inner lid and check for warping or bent edges. Replace if not flat.
- Replace lid assembly: If the plastic lid is cracked or cannot seal properly, replace the entire Cosori lid assembly to restore safe operation.
