How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off power before removing the lid.

  • Clean surfaces: Remove the lid and clean both the lid and housing sealing surfaces.
  • Inspect O-ring: Check for cracks, flat spots, or stretching. Replace with a genuine Onga lid O-ring if damaged.
  • Lubricate: Apply a thin film of silicone-based lubricant to the O-ring to improve sealing.
  • Check lid: Inspect for warping or cracks. Replace the lid if it does not seat evenly.

Reinstall the lid, tightening evenly by hand. Do not use tools that could distort the lid.
