Possible Causes
Lid not fully locked, Faulty lid closed sensor, Misaligned lid or deformed lid locking tabs
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Ensure the cooker is unplugged when inspecting the lid mechanism.
- Verify lid orientation: Align the lid with the 'Open/Close' marks and rotate firmly to the closed position until it stops.
- Inspect lid tabs and rim: Check for bent or damaged locking tabs on the lid and for debris on the cooker rim that could prevent full closure.
- Check lid sensor magnet: Some models use a magnet in the lid and a reed switch in the body. Ensure the magnet is still present and not loose.
- Replace faulty parts: If the lid closes mechanically but the cooker still shows 'Lid Open', replace the lid sensor/magnet assembly or lid switch assembly.
