Liquid leaks from the bottom of the cooker rather than from the lid or valve.

Safety first: Unplug the cooker immediately. Do not operate it with liquid leaking near electrical parts.

• Inspect inner pot: Remove and fill the pot with water while holding it over a sink to check for cracks or pinholes.
• Check for overflow signs: Look inside the cooker for dried food or water marks around the heater plate, indicating past overflows.
• Dry thoroughly: Wipe all accessible areas dry and allow the cooker to air dry for 24–48 hours.

If leakage continues or you see water emerging from vents or the base, internal seals may be compromised. Professional disassembly and resealing are required.
