Possible Causes
Handle mounting screws loosened over time, Cracked plastic handle base, Worn hinge bushings, Over-torqued handle in past use
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Ensure the cooker is cool and unplugged before tightening screws.
- Tighten screws: Using the appropriate screwdriver, gently tighten the visible screws on the lid handle. Do not overtighten.
- Inspect for cracks: If the handle base is cracked, it should be replaced to avoid sudden failure while lifting a hot lid.
- Check hinge play: If the entire lid wobbles, the hinge screws may also need tightening.
- When to replace: Replace the lid handle assembly if structural damage is visible.
