Unusual rattling or clicking noise from inside the cooker during heating or pressure build.

Safety first: Unplug the cooker and allow it to cool before inspection. Do not operate with the base cover removed.

• Check inner pot: Ensure the pot is fully seated and not contacting the lid or housing. Remove any utensils or accessories from inside.
• Inspect steam valve: Confirm the steam release valve cap is properly installed and not rattling loosely.
• Access base: Remove the bottom cover and check for loose screws on the heating plate, sensor brackets, and board mounts. Tighten gently as needed.
• Look for foreign objects: Ensure no small parts or debris are trapped inside the housing.
• Test: Reassemble and run a short cycle with water to confirm the noise is resolved.
