Possible Causes
Pressure not detected due to sensor issue, Lid not recognized as locked, Firmware waiting for temperature rise that never occurs, Faulty pressure sensor
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the cooker before internal inspection.
- 1. Verify lid and valve: Ensure the lid is locked and the steam release valve is set to Seal.
- 2. Check for leaks: Look for steam escaping around the lid; fix gasket or valve issues if present.
- 3. Sensor diagnostics: If there are no leaks and heating occurs but countdown never starts, test the pressure sensor and lid lock switch as described in earlier entries.
- 4. Control board replacement: If sensors are good, replace the main control board.
