How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the cooker before manipulating the latch.
Mechanical checks:
- Inspect the latch hook on the lid and the catch on the body for visible damage.
- Clean the latch area to remove any hardened food.
- Check that the hinge screws are tight and the lid is centered.
If the latch hook is bent slightly, it may be gently realigned with pliers. If cracked or broken, replace the entire latch assembly or lid.
