Kenwood Worn or Loose Lid Hinge Assembly

Lid hinge feels loose or wobbly; lid does not align properly with the pot.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Loose hinge screws, Worn hinge pin, Cracked plastic hinge housing, Excessive force on lid over time

Safety first: Unplug and allow the cooker to cool before working near the lid.

Tighten screws: Open the lid and locate hinge screws on the lid and body. Tighten gently but firmly.
Inspect hinge parts: Look for cracks in the plastic hinge housing or a bent hinge pin.
Alignment test: Close the lid and check if it sits evenly on the pot. Misalignment can cause sealing and pressure issues.

If the hinge is cracked or cannot be tightened, replace the hinge or complete lid assembly.
