Display shows 'Lid' or a lid icon; cooker refuses to start or build pressure.

Safety: Ensure the cooker is cool and not under pressure before adjusting the lid.

Step 1 – Confirm proper closure:

• Open and close the lid firmly until you hear the locking click.
• Check that the sealing ring is seated and not obstructing closure.

Step 2 – Inspect lid detection components:

• Some Klarstein models use a magnet and reed switch to detect lid closure.
• Inspect the lid handle area for a small magnet; ensure it has not fallen out.
• On the body, locate the reed switch or microswitch and ensure it is not loose.

Step 3 – Electrical check (optional):

• With the unit unplugged, test continuity of the lid switch while opening and closing the lid.
• No change indicates a failed switch.

Step 4 – Repair:

• Replace missing or weak lid magnet and/or the lid detection switch.
• Adjust the hinge or latch so the lid aligns correctly with the body.
