Possible Causes

Damaged float valve silicone cap, Debris on float valve seat, Deformed float valve pin, Excessive pressure due to blocked steam release

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Keep clear of escaping steam. Unplug the cooker if leakage is heavy.

  • Depressurize safely: Allow the cooker to release pressure via the steam release valve.
  • Disassemble float valve: Remove the float valve and silicone cap from the lid.
  • Clean and inspect: Wash the float valve, cap, and valve channel. Remove any food residue. Inspect the silicone cap for wear or damage.
  • Replace worn parts: Install a new float valve silicone cap or complete float valve assembly if needed.
  • Check steam release path: Ensure the steam release valve and anti-block shield are clean and not causing abnormal pressure behavior.
