Ninja Foodi Smart Pressure Cooker Steam Fryer No Pressure Fix Tips

[@thelmahogue9203]

Thanks for the tip!

[@Tinkerbella285]

Hi from London and thank you so much. I was about to throw my unit out and replace it, mine is about 18 months old as well. I make amazing italian beef ragu for pasta or lasagne and a fabulous beef bourgignon in my unit that my family go nuts for, but Ive burnt five dishes because the bloody thing just won’t go to pressure. I am super pleased to have found your video as none of the Ninja facebook groups have suggested your fix to me! Xx

[@WaveOvenRecipes]

You're welcome.

[@mr.stephen5439]

I just got this unit recently but I have been seeing loads of comments from couple of places people complaining of the fan failure and most of them talking about the “lid shut error”, some like the lid is shut but it’s still asking you to shut the lid. And lastly, I applaud your cleaning. You did really well, I hope the 30 minutes steaming will do the trick.

[@WaveOvenRecipes]

After the one time I resolved the issue as mentioned in the video. It never occurred again.

[@LLouie]

Thank you SO SO SO much for this! After six months, my Ninja Foodi would not reach pressure and I thought I was going to have to throw it out! I gave that little float a poke and a blast of compressed air and it immediately worked!!! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!!!!!

[@fae_275]

Thank you so much. I thought I have a defective unit. But after following your instructions, it works. Thanks again.

[@WaveOvenRecipes]

You're welcome.

[@racheldunkley2519]

This video is wonderful. I tried several times to get the Ninja foodi to come up to pressure today (it's only the second time I have ever used it), and nothing worked. I tried your tip whilst conducting the water test and it came up to pressure. I can't thank you enough for taking the time to make the video

[@candiceschwake4333]

Thank you so much! You saved our Ninja Cooker! You are amazing!

[@WaveOvenRecipes]

You're welcome

[@kaylinndei]

You are a lifesaver!!! Thank you SO much for taking the time to share this. I purchased my Ninja pressure cooker "certified refurbished" (certified by who I am not sure) because I couldn't afford to purchase the unit brand new. Everything has worked perfectly EXCEPT the pressure cooker (which is why I purchased this particular model). I did exactly as you suggested and it worked PERFECTLY afterward. THANK YOU!!!! ♥

[@chrislarson3316]

Bought new foodi xl and would not build pressure. Tried your trick. Now it work like a charm!

[@TimberWolf1]

Just out the box. Following the instructions for the water test. I got the No Pressure. You can imagine my thoughts. Thankfully I found your video and it worked. Thanks for taking the time out to do the video!

[@WaveOvenRecipes]

Wow, stuck fresh out the box!!!

[@franvinas]

[@its5oclocksomewhere542]

[@krzykris]

I was about to return this thing. Thank you.

[@howellomaha]

Thank you! I tried a few things to fix it and nothing was working. I tried your suggestion and NOW IT WORKS!.

[@marilynfreitas2507]

[@fredwenhold317]

[@allyh1565]

[@WaveOvenRecipes]

[@allyh1565]

It worked!!!! I’m so happy I could cry! I’ve been struggling with this for so long. Thank you!! I’m sharing this video with everyone I know!

[@WaveOvenRecipes]

You're welcome, glad it worked!

[@jacquelinelovelock7195]

Well, I was having a same prob when trying to cook with probe a gammon joint. No pressure etc... so i came in here to find an answer and found your site. Watched your video ready to take action, but when i returned to kitchen, all was well. It had started to count up to temp of well done gammon. Now I read my info from Ninja and it does say that you should give at least 45 mins to come to pressure depending on food being cooked. As my gammon joint had come straight from the fridge even though only using 300ml of water I think this had an effect on the time it took to get to pressure. Just a thought. x

[@WaveOvenRecipes]

I am glad yours is working, but for me and many others, that was not our issue.

[@carolinaramirez3924]

Thank you so much!!!! So glad I found your video

[@apitthacake]

Thank you so much. It’s Very help Me fixed. Appreciate

[@WaveOvenRecipes]

You are very welcome, and thank you for your generous support.

[@suzelizabeth]

Thank you so much!

[@martinjaramillo2429]

Thanks for the great tips.

[@davidwagner3170]

Doing this tip fixed it for one use. Then it reverted back to no pressure. I ordered a replacement seal just to have one on hand. I'm going to try cleaning the pressure valve. If that doesn't work I'm going to have to call customer support.

[@k.a.664]

I am having the exact same issue as you, and will try the steps mentioned before calling customers service

[@davidwagner3170]

@k. a. also take the ring out and hand wash (no scrubbing). I had bought a new seal. That fixed the issue. Then, I noticed my old one had some old sauce on one spot on the inner groove of the seal. I thoroughly cleaned it, took the new seal out and reinstalled the cleaned (old) seal and the cooker is now getting to pressure. I have the new seal as an extra. Used pressure cook 4 times since this (over about a week) and every time it got to pressure. Fingers crossed it continues. But yeah, try inspecting and washing the seal.

[@MaksymBondar-bl5mg]

USE MORE WATER

[@davidwagner3170]

@MaksymBondar-bl5mg the manual calls for 1 cup. I used 1.5 cups. Then, I tried 2 cups. Either way, same result. It wasn't the water (liquid) in my case. This has been confirmed by Ninja. I've replaced the seal but haven't used pressure cook since replacing. I will be using pressure this week and if it again fails, then I'll be sending the unit for fix/replacement. Thankfully, I bought the extended warranty.

[@MaksymBondar-bl5mg]

Move the bowl closer to the base of the lid attachment so that it closes easily. The problem is in the silicone ring, the pressure is leaking there, it helped me, maybe it will help someone else

[@lucifersatoshi]

Thank you! Any tips on how to disassemble the Smart Lid?

[@WaveOvenRecipes]

You're welcome. The lid on this one is not designed for removal. If you need a removable lid, I recommend you see my reviews of one with removable lids kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKLXapKforimrtk Far as I am aware, none in the Ninja Foodi pressure cooker line ever had a removable lid.

[@ragnarooze]

I write this for anyone with this problem and for whom this solution didn't work. I was having the same issue, and I now believe it was just because of filling the pot too closely to the max line. Whenever I cook a very large amount of food, the pot fails to reach pressure, but with a smaller amount it successfully pressurizes every time. I suspect there is a safety mechanism that prevents pressurizing when the pot is overfilled, and that this is just not really communicated well. If the solution in this video doesn't work, try just pressurizing a cup of water and see if it doesn't work.

[@donaldmorgan9149]

Thank you!

[@WaveOvenRecipes]

You,re welcome.

[@rl4499]

My foodi would not pressurize so I looked at everything and found my problem. When you put it in pressure mode it closes the 2 flapers inside the lid. They had buildup so I removed it (not easy) and now it works.

[@WaveOvenRecipes]

Good for you.

[@nisipaxton2067]

Thanks, it's working now.😊

[@apitthacake]

Thanks!

[@uhhwhat9852]

I noticed with mine, there is no manual pressure release. You just have to wait it out.

[@mikeham5465]

Thanks

[@k.a.664]

Great video, thanks for the tips and keep up the good work as always

[@blindcat688]

[@jaytracks]

I see alot of hype with the speedy now have you seen anything on that? I have this machine and so far no issues...thanks for the tip

[@k.a.664]

I also have the ninja speedi and no issues so far, I just rotate them out.

[@toddlungman68]

thanks will given it a look you might have saved my ninja from the 12 gauge

[@cherokeegrandma4135]

Gave a thumbs up became a SUB 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼♥️

[@terrygold8719]

Well, my unit has a valve on the other side (inside) that doesn't come off so can't even get at the solution. I've tried everything. This model can't even pressurize tomato soup. But did pressurize 4 cups of water (took 15 minutes just to reach pressure). Seems like this model is a dud. Who cooks just water?

[@Mortalsleep]

I want to buy some allstate insurance also

[@freddyempis3282]

Great advice, and but those machines are so bad do not buy them, after 1yearand half have lots issue with the lid the company don't even consider repair instead want me to buy new one witch means every 2 year spent 400 on new one

[@WaveOvenRecipes]

Mine works very well, very glad I got one Ninja Foodi Smart XL Pressure Cooker Steam Fryer: kzbin.info/aero/PLdwaKyfn2J3oK7UEHFdW9aMEq81dePNfC

[@jorgeernestogarciacoreas163]

I HAVE THIS PROBLEM, THE MESSAGE IS ALWAYS THE SAME: "NO PRESSIURE", I ALREADY DID ALL THE STEPS, I CLEAN IT AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE COULD HAPPEN.

[@WaveOvenRecipes]

Try Ninja customer service. Maybe it's a hardware issue.

[@MaksymBondar-bl5mg]

Move the bowl closer to the base of the lid attachment so that it closes easily. The problem is in the silicone ring, the pressure is leaking there, it helped me

[@toddadale]

Thanks!
