Possible Causes

Loose lid handle screws, Damaged internal lid seal, Cracked lid top cover, Warped plastic around handle mount

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Avoid touching the leaking area while hot; allow the unit to cool before inspection.

  • Check handle screws: With the unit unplugged and cool, tighten the screws that secure the lid handle (if accessible).
  • Inspect for cracks: Look for visible cracks in the plastic lid top cover around the handle area.
  • Monitor leak: If only minor condensation is present, it may be normal. Continuous dripping or steam jets indicate a failed seal.
  • Replace lid assembly: Significant leaks from the lid top usually require replacement of the complete lid assembly.
