thank you for that but you might want to add how you "Clean the float valve." &..""take off the steam release handle """ and what you do if it's not under warranty…thanks
mine is leaking steam from all over the top lid… and I'm sure it's just now barely past one year..
12/26/2019 : Just had this problem occur today. Steam is coming out of the steam release handle. I've cleaned everything, put it all back together and it happened again. Also, when the steam comes out, the countdown on the timer stops & the IP turns itself OFF! I think I need to contact your website. 🙁
Very helpful. Merci.
Very helpful. My steam valve was on wrong!!!!
What about steam coming out of the pot by itself by the moisture over flow plastic reservoir. I'm making ribs and see this steam.coming out along with the steam release valve. It stopped when the timer came on.
I have the same problem. I been using my instant pot many times before with no problem and now steam constantly come out of the release valve and it's set to sealing. I order a replace sealing valve and still same issue. Please advised.
I cooked one salmon filet about 1/2 lb worth and the pin would drop but about one minute after it beeped for the countdown, steam started to release from the steam release knob and my fish wasn't cooked. The recipe said 3 min on high pressure. I just got my pot 2 weeks ago so I',m new to this, cooked pork, chicken, squash, potatoes, apples in it so far without this happening… so my question is, I guess this is normal with just one one fish filet? (my pot doesn't have numbers 1,2,3,4, etc on the inside so I can't tell if the food was below the number 2)
THIS WAS SO HELPFUL…IT SOLVED MY PROBLEM. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
Oooh, thanks for this video! I've been concerned about my 3-qt IP for a while, and just now I was cooking a cup of red lentils for 2 minutes and wondering why there was steam coming out the whole time. I'm glad to hear that this is normal for small quantities!
This video is extremely helpful.
I just bought an Instant Pot Lux 3 quart today. Water test failed. The steam release handle steams all the time on the water test. the float valve popped up but the steam kept flowing through the steam release handle. Timer never came on and most of the water was gone when I let it cool down. After watching this video I looked at the inside of the steam release handle and there is no metal pin. Does this smaller version have a different steam release handle than what you show here??
Thaaankyou!! Very thorough!!
The floating vent seal wears out along with the large sealing ring, and Instant Pot will not replace it.
