Possible Causes

Incorrectly installed sealing ring, Worn or stretched gasket, Debris trapped under gasket, Warped lid or pot rim

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Avoid touching hot liquid around the lid. Turn off and unplug if leakage is heavy.

  • Inspect gasket installation: After cooling, remove the sealing ring and reinstall it evenly in the lid groove, ensuring it is not twisted.
  • Clean gasket and groove: Wash the ring and lid groove with warm soapy water to remove grease and food particles.
  • Check for wear: If the ring is loose, flattened, or has cuts, replace it with an Electrolux-compatible sealing ring.
  • Inspect pot rim: Ensure the inner pot rim is not bent or chipped. Replace the pot if damaged.
  • If leaks persist with a new gasket, the lid assembly may be warped and require replacement.
