Multicooker lid does not lock; it can be opened easily even when starting a pressure program.

Safety first: Do not attempt pressure cooking if the lid does not lock securely.

• Inspect latch: With the unit unplugged, open and close the lid while observing the latch hook. It should extend and retract smoothly.
• Check for damage: Look for cracks or broken plastic on the latch or strike plate.
• Clean latch area: Remove any food residue that may prevent full engagement.
• Test non-pressure modes: Use only non-pressure functions (like Sauté) until the lock is repaired.
• Repair: Replace the lid lock assembly or lid if the latch is broken or the solenoid fails to engage.
