Possible Causes

Missing or improperly installed condensation collector cup, Blocked condensation channel in lid, Warped lid causing water to run off edge, Excess steam due to minor seal leak

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Use caution around hot condensation; it can cause burns.

  • Install collector correctly: Ensure the Nesco condensation cup is fully seated in its slot and oriented correctly.
  • Clean channels: Remove the lid and clean any grooves or channels designed to direct condensation to the collector.
  • Check lid fit and seal: Inspect the sealing ring and lid alignment. Replace the ring if it no longer seals evenly.
  • Reduce splatter: Avoid overfilling and use recipes appropriate for pressure cooking to minimize foaming and splashing.
  • Test: Run a water-only cycle and observe where condensation flows; adjust collector position if needed.

Warning: Do not block condensation outlets; they are designed to manage moisture safely.
