Possible Causes

Broken inner lid clips, Worn silicone or metal retainers, Incorrect reinstallation after cleaning, Deformation from high heat or dishwasher use (if not dishwasher-safe)

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Allow the cooker to cool before reinstalling the inner lid.

  • Check orientation: Ensure the inner lid is installed in the correct direction and fully engaged in its slots or clips.
  • Inspect clips: Look for cracked or missing plastic tabs. If broken, the inner lid may not stay in place and should be replaced.
  • Avoid forcing: Do not bend the inner lid to fit; this can damage the seal and affect pressure performance.

If the retainer mechanism is damaged on the main lid, the entire lid assembly may need replacement.
