Display shows 'Lid' or a lid icon; cooker will not start pressure programs.

Safety: Ensure the cooker is not under pressure before manipulating the lid.

• Clean lid area: Wipe the lid rim, hinge, and locking area to remove food debris that may prevent full closure.
• Close firmly: Open and close the lid several times, ensuring it clicks into the locked position.
• Inspect lid switch: Access the lid lock/position switch under the top cover. Check that the actuator from the lid actually presses the switch when closed. Adjust or replace broken plastic parts.
• Test switch electrically: Use a multimeter to verify that the switch changes state when the lid is closed. Replace the switch if faulty.
