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.
