How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Do not use pressure or high-heat programs if the lid does not lock securely.
- Inspect lock hook: With the lid open, examine the lock hook and mating catch on the body. Look for wear, cracks, or missing pieces.
- Check hinge screws: Tighten any loose hinge screws to ensure proper lid alignment.
- Test engagement: Close the lid and gently lift to see if it stays locked. If it opens easily, the lock mechanism is worn.
- Replace lock assembly: Obtain the correct Tiger lid lock assembly for your model and replace it, or have a technician perform the repair.
