Possible Causes

Steam leak preventing pressure, Faulty pressure sensor not detecting pressure, Lid not fully locked, Heating element weak

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Avoid touching hot steam. Unplug before mechanical inspection.

  • Check for visible steam: If steam is escaping from the lid edges or valve, address sealing ring and valve issues.
  • Verify lid lock: Ensure the lid is fully locked and the lid lock indicator (if present) is engaged.
  • Test heating: Use Sauté mode to confirm the unit can bring water to a boil. If not, investigate the heating element.
  • Sensor and valve cleaning: Clean the pressure sensor port, steam release valve, and anti-block shield to ensure accurate pressure detection.
