Zavor Insulation / Thermal Shield Degradation

Outer housing becomes excessively hot to the touch during normal operation.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Damaged internal insulation, Misaligned inner pot, Blocked ventilation, Prolonged high-temperature operation

Safety first: Avoid touching hot metal surfaces; use handles only.

Check placement: Ensure the cooker is on a heat-resistant surface with adequate clearance on all sides.
Verify pot seating: Make sure the inner pot is fully seated and not tilted.
Limit extreme use: Avoid running multiple long high-pressure cycles back-to-back without cooling.
Inspect internally (advanced): If the housing is dangerously hot, internal insulation or shields may be damaged and should be inspected and replaced by a technician.
