Possible Causes
Faulty temperature sensor reading low or high, Pressure sensor drift, Steam release valve leaking slightly, User using wrong program or altitude not considered
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Allow cooker to cool before internal checks.
- Verify usage: Confirm you are using the correct program, liquid amount, and cooking time per the manual. At high altitudes, longer cooking times may be needed.
- Check for minor leaks: During pressure cooking, observe if small amounts of steam constantly escape from the valve or lid edge. If so, clean and replace gasket or valve seals.
- Sensor inspection: If cooking is consistently off, inspect the bottom NTC and pressure sensor for secure mounting and clean contacts.
- Calibration by replacement: Replace suspect sensors (temperature and pressure) with new SilverCrest-compatible parts to restore correct regulation.
