Possible Causes
Gasket not installed, Gasket installed upside down, Worn or stretched gasket, Food residue on sealing surfaces
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Ensure the cooker is cool and depressurized before removing the lid.
- Verify gasket installation: Remove the silicone gasket and reinstall it firmly into the lid groove, ensuring it is not twisted.
- Inspect gasket condition: Look for cracks, flattening, or hard spots. Replace the gasket if it does not sit snugly or shows wear.
- Clean sealing surfaces: Wipe the lid rim and cooker body rim with a damp cloth to remove oil and food residue that can prevent sealing.
- Test with water: Run a short pressure cycle with only water to confirm that the SEAL message clears and pressure is maintained.
