Possible Causes

Faulty temperature sensor, Misreading pressure sensor, Leaking lid seal, Control PCB calibration drift

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Always check food for safe internal temperature before consumption.

  • Check sealing ring and valves: Ensure there are no leaks that could reduce effective cooking temperature.
  • Use more liquid: Low liquid can cause the cooker to cycle off early due to overheat protection.
  • Test with water: Run a pressure cycle with only water and compare the time to pressure and steam release to the manual's expectations.
  • Sensor replacement: If the cooker consistently undercooks despite correct settings and no leaks, the temperature sensor or pressure sensor may need replacement.
