Possible Causes

Damaged or misaligned lid gasket, Overfilled inner pan, Cracked inner pan, Spillover entering inner body and exiting through drain paths

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit immediately if liquid is leaking near the cord or base.

  • Check fill level: Ensure food and water do not exceed the maximum line inside the pan.
  • Inspect lid gasket: Remove the gasket (if removable), wash with warm soapy water, rinse, dry, and reinstall evenly. Replace if cracked or hardened.
  • Inspect inner pan: Look for cracks or pinholes, especially near the bottom seam. Replace the pan if any damage is found.
  • Dry the unit: If liquid entered the body, unplug and let the cooker dry for at least 24 hours before reuse.

When to call a technician: Persistent leakage from the base may indicate internal seal or body damage.
