Midea Lid Misalignment / Lock Failure

Lid will not close or lock properly; cooker refuses to start pressure programs.

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

Bent lid hinge, Deformed lid lock hook, Obstruction on pot rim or lid

Safety first: Ensure the cooker is unplugged and cool.

Remove inner pot: Try closing the lid without the pot to see if it aligns correctly. If it closes, the pot may be too full or mis-seated.
Check for obstructions: Clean the pot rim and lid underside thoroughly.
Inspect hinge and hook: Look for visible bending or damage. Slight bends can sometimes be corrected carefully with pliers, but avoid cracking the metal.
If locking remains unreliable: Replace the lid lock assembly or complete lid as needed.
