Thanks for this video. I was just about to throw my instant pot away. For the life of me I couldn’t figure out why my lid wouldn’t close. Thanks to this video I found out the pin was jammed. Hammered it back in place, working again :) Was out of place from the lid falling and having a small crack in the lid.

Thanks, I was wondering what happened to that piece for the pressure pin. OK I just edited this after looking around for that little piece and I found it, thanks for the visual. Oh and I think you forgot to add that the lid can hook on the side of the handle so you're not looking for a place to set it.

MOST INFORMATIVE video on Instant Pot. My lid wouldn't slide closed. Turns out it was the 6:40 info on that little round button that is linked to another part. Moved it a bit .....

[@shanequinn8356]

This is great, especially after 6min when you talk about the Pin. Keep it clean is vital. I expected there to be a light spring to keep this closed as mine falls open by gravity when I close the lid. I don't see how it can ever close because any steam escapes before it can build up any pressure. I'd prefer a design with a small car radiator cap, like on newer Japan cars. Since ALL radiator caps open at 1 atmosphere pressure (about 14.4 psi) this is enough pressure to steam food.

The different seals are pretty. But yeah, it makes sense to change them between cooking. It's good that the company provides the parts needed. Most thing these days just want you to replace the whole unit.

Thank you! Great, informative video! Just one thing....I have seen several videos (including on Instant Pot website), that there is a wire ring/clip that goes under the Steam Release Handle, over the silicone washer inside the handle. I accidentally dropped my lid and the release handle flew off so now I don't know if it is supposed to have a wire clip in there or not. You didn't mention anything about it in your video so maybe not all models have it. We have the Duo 6qt. Do you know? Thank you in advance!

My instant pot comes to pressure, the valve rises, and then a few minutes later the steam release knob even though is in the sealing position it starts spurting out steam. This is a new problem we just started having..any reason why? Thanks

Clean all well and may need to replace any gaskets including the sealing ring.

for some reason my lid wont close or open because the lid locking pin/ spring isnt working right, I can still get it to open or shut but its a hassle, I think I need a new spring because the "sliding fork" keeps hitting my floating valve pin....adult problems lol. im even able to take it apart there are 2 rubber black push ins you can take out and take out 2 more screws and take out the actual sliding fork as well! theres 2 magnets inside by prying the black piece out. my only queston is can you replace the spring? can i get universal spring sizes at a auto value store?

[@wtbm123]

Not sure , but would think as long as it was very close to the same length and about the same stiffnes it should work , i would think

[@Dawn-zo2ny]

Do i leave the silicone cap on the float valve while cooking...?...Thank you...

[@wtbm123]

YES

[@lisapeartree3601]

A question about the pin. I have replacement seal that goes on the underside of the lid, but the plastic piece you put on the top of the pin- is the same seal or a plastic cap? I can’t tell if the plastic rings are the same on the top and bottom of the pin. I ordered replacement parts and i received 3 plastic rings. Does that make sense? It looks to me like the plastic you put on the top side of the pin is a closed cap

[@wtbm123]

The pin just has a gasket on inside . The black plastic thing is different if talking about the pressure - vent valve . It has no gasket . If i am understanding correctly

[@mrobvious1100]

Good afternoon sir I have the instant pot 8 court duo. Every once in a while I am noticing steam is blowing past my red pop up.

Thanks for the information, but how do you get the little metal pin back in. Mine fell out so it does not come to pressure. I have tried everything and it doesn't fit. Also, my vent piece on top falls off when ever I tilt it. It seem I lost the silicone piece inside. I have only used it 4 times. I have the duo sv.

Sometimes you can get a butter knife under it . If you push up just right it should pop off.

Today I was starting to make collard greens , I first put 1 cup water mines a 6 Qt. then put ham hock and some onion , fatback grease put lid on locked it set to pressure hit manual then 15 minutes. It started fine came up to pressure and started counting down got to 12 minutes then I heard a lot pot and pressure looked and the front part of lid and popped out from the groove thing . I hit the off button and pushed to pressure release valve waited . It took me 5 or ten minutes to get the lid off, I did a list check going over everything can't find anything wrong. The lid goes on and locks fine . I tried it again making sure the lid is on pushed down then turned to lock position . Any help you may have would be great.

[@wtbm123]

If leaking around the gasket where lid goes on then get a new gasket and try . as long as you see no damage of the pot its self

[@rytekilikeviciene9652]

I have l LID Error on my steamer and the lid wigles loose. I changed the silicone ring and it goes on anyway. Is it a reset possibility to fix a problem?

[@wtbm123]

If all is real clean and moving well , the gasket is new and you are sure the rubber like gasket is good and on the pin correctly , Then you should contact customer service as they will probably help you figure it out .

Is there a link somewhere to get spare parts for my instapot?

[@wtbm123]

Instant pot website , ebay , amazon

[@EraidFreefire]

I just bought my instant pot a few days ago and mine has a different method of sealing and venting. Mine has a little switch knob to move up or down not the vent itself. Occasionally I'll get steam coming from the Pin area instead of the venting area. Sometimes I can release the steam and it'll come out fine after the pressure cooking sometimes there's none to release. It could also be I'm still too new to figure out how long it takes for things to come to pressure, and if this is normal?

[@wtbm123]

To get to pressure is not always the same time . The temp of food , how much liquid and things can make for longer or shorter times to pressure . Make sure there is enough liquid . And liquid first in most , then dry stuff on top and do not stir so liquid stays on bottom longer with no burn notice

[@EraidFreefire]
