- Instant Pot Lid Parts , How it Works. Here i show the parts of the Instant pot pressure cooker and how to assemble it. It is important on the instant pot lid to keep the float pin clean and a good gasket - seal on it . The float pin - valve , is what works the lid lock mechanism. The instant pot sealing rings can be bought in different colors . Different colors so you can keep one for pressure cooking spicy or smelly foods and use another color to pressure cook a cheese cake or something. The anti-block shield in the instant pot lid is to keep food particles out of the steam release valve. The parts for the Instant Pot lid can be found on the Instant Pot web site.

Thank you for your coaching. You explained down to the lowest denominator. I am a senior and I understood with ease. Thank you again.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for explaining so well how the sealing ring works and also everything else . I was able to fix the lid of my instant pot . ❤️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙌🏻
Glad it helped!
Very informative!! Thank you, I learned a lot about my lid from you that I had not found anywhere else. Everyone with an Instant Pot should watch this.
Glad it was helpful!
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.
Glad I could help!
Thank you very much! This is exactly what I was looking for!
You are welcome!
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.
Glad I could help!
LIFESAVER!!!! Thank you! Mine had the safety device loose, and is different in the distribution of the valves, however your explanation was so clear that even so I could fix it.
Thank you for stopping by .
Thank you for this. I didn’t know the valve affected the locking pin so much!
Glad it helped
Thank you for demonstrating the parts of the instant pot. You made it easy to use the pot. I lost the manuel for my instant pot.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment . Glad you got it going . May be able to download a copy of the manual on the instant pot web page.
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.
Thank you for the info. Much appreciated.
Glad it was helpful!
THANK YOU! My release valve wouldnt go down, the gasket went into the lid and my lid was hard to close. Now its perfect again 💜💜
Glad it helped
Thank you! This is the most complete video showing all the details I was looking for.
Thank you for commenting
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.

Thank you sir. This was super useful and easy to walk through putting the pin back in. Keep up the good work.
Glad it helped
A proper explanation at last! I bought an instant pot from UK and it came with no instructions whatsoever 🤯
Thank you
This was really helpful and we'll explained, thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
This video is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for posting it.

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!
Thank you so much you have saved me from the noise of my boss..
Glad I could help
Thank you so much for this video. I’ve tried troubleshooting and gave up trying to use my pot. I’m going to try again tomorrow!! You are the only one who has done this. The website doesn’t explain and my manual isn’t helpful either.
Glad it helped
my pot has lid sign on although it is properly closed. help?
Get a hold of instant pot support . They are great at helping with issues . also make sure everything on lid is assembled right and all parts move free
Perfect! Helped me fix my instapot. My teen aged son had broken it!!
Glad it helped , Thanks for stopping in .
Perfect video! Thank you 😊
Glad you liked it!!
Your video is a big help. Thank you.
Glad it helped
Great video man. I've watch several others but your video is thorough and the most comprehensive.
thank you
I appreciate that!
According to this video with called the PIN
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?
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
My cooker has taken over the kitchen!!! Ha ha !!
I have a hard time keeping up with all these new cooking accessories. 😁
Me too . lol Thanks for stopping by
Excellent explanation. My poppet valve was dirty and would not seal. Thank thee :-)
Glad it helped!
I cant close my lid!😳😳😳😭😭😭 I was exploring the lid and now I cant close it I think I might if did something wrong with that tiny little button that goes in and out , mines not going in so I cant close lid
Please help
Got to be sure the locking mechanism moves free
Do i leave the silicone cap on the float valve while cooking...?...Thank you...
YES
Thank you very much sir. This was the exact information I was looking for.
Glad it was helpful!
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. I have to dig at the side of it gently with a pointed object and the red valve will pop up. Now that I Have seen your video I'm going to Try and take it apart to clean it. But can you tell me the minimum amount of water to use for the water test
I believe it is in the owners manual , but i think it is 3 cups
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.
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
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
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
Thank you so much! You saved my Instant Pot, our locking pin was sticky and effecting the valve..fixed in two minutes!
Glad it helped!
I give up. Lid still doesn’t close. The pin won’t move pass the groove I’ve tried everything. It’s new pot
May have debris in there , Try cleaning well around the pin . Thanks for stopping in , Hope you get it fixed.
Thank you, I bought new rings from China. My pot leaked , it was the vent valve , the screw came lose.
Glad you were able to fix it .
I lost my release value I got a faberware 6 quart how can I get another one. I can't do pressure without that knob. Do I just put the knob on there
Not sure if could contact the company , they may carry parts .
I think my pin was my problem Im cooking right now to see, I have watched tons of videos but yours might fianlly do the trick
Glad you got it sorted out and thanks for commenting
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?
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 .
I NEED TO GET PARTS WHERE DO I go to pick them up
Can either contact instantpot Or there are several venders on Amazon and other online shopping places . And i could be wrong , but was thinking target may carry some things ,
My issue is the valve releases pressure the whole time its cooking that I get the film with more water indicator
may have a piece of debris or not enough liquid in pot to make the steam needed to build pressure
I always thought I was stuck with that onion smell in my oatmeal!
One can also buy different color rings , so it is easy to know what one is used for smelly foods
My valve leaks. Replaced the top valve but still leaks.
Do you have enough thin liquid to build pressure . I would suggest doing a water test to see if it works that way . If the water test works then the instant pot is ok
Good job on the vid
Thank you
Awesome! My IP works again! Thanks!

Is there a link somewhere to get spare parts for my instapot?
Instant pot website , ebay , amazon
Thank you so much. I had a guarantee for 2 quarts eclectic pressure cooker. I was given some cash return on it when it did not work. I check out the video brought the parts and will try tomorrow , I held on to it for a year ,I will let you know if it worked,
Hope it works out well for you . Glad you are trying to save a Magic pot , Well that is what we call them . Thanks for commenting

Thank u so much for this tutorial 💓
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you very much!!! :)
Welcome!
Thank you! this ten minute video saved me from purchasing a new one!
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.
Yea we had others until we needed parts , That is a big reason we went with the Instant pot . Thanks for stopping by
I'm shocked by how much I love this
WTBM 123 - Thank you, thank you, thank you ‼️ The lid on my Nesco Professional Pressure Cooker would not open, and ….. thanks to you, I was able to open it by following your directions. Since our cooked dinner was in the pressure cooker, I had to get it opened. So, everyone in my Family says, Good Job❗️, WTBM 123‼️ We will recommend this video to friends.

Thanks so much the BEST explanation .....I actually was able to fix my instant pot .
Glad it helped!
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?
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
@wtbm123 it turns out that when I bought it: The box and instantpot itself were dented! You can imagine my surprise when my mother in law pointed that out!
@@EraidFreefire Hope you were able to exchange it for an undented one
@@wtbm123 I was!
Saved the day. Thanks for the instructions! My problem was the safety pin: it got stuck and the valve was not allowing pressure to build.
Glad it helped
good vid. thank you.
Glad you liked it!
Thank you so much. That rubber bit was what was causing my lid not to close. I took apart the other part and it seemed like it was working as it should, but I had no idea that it was connected to that. Mine had spun and gotten caught
Hope all is working well again
OMG you saved me! My instant pot steam release just sprayed creamy chicken soup all over my kitchen. Now I know why. Loves ❣
LOL , Thanks for stopping in and commenting
What's for supper?
Steak , Thanks for watching and commenting
The steel circular deal next to the pin (on the inside) won’t budge. I just got it so I don’t need to clean it yet....I don’t want to break it trying to get it off. Is this going to be a problem?
Sometimes you can get a butter knife under it . If you push up just right it should pop off.
Do you have a parrot?
No but it is our bird . he is in the house . he likes to talk .
TWO OF THESE GUYS LATER,
I can't close down the lid on either.
I'm stumped. Can you help me pls?
Make sure the pin moves , gasket is in place and the lid is turned to the proper place to put it on
Thank you sir!!!
Most welcome!
GREAT tutorial!!!! I still can't get my replacement float valve in - won't go thru to underside. Any ideas.
Just make sure all is clean
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 ..... I'm now cooking my beans!! THANK YOU DUDE! I also learned I can take that round cage thing can easily come off .. and mine was so filthy underneath ..now clean.
Thank you for watching and commenting
WOW! I learned so much helpful advice. Easy to understand. Thank you!

Was searching for a tutorial for the Nutricook, I'm surprised that the Instapot looks exactly like the Nutricook. Needed info on installing the pressure release valve. Kept feeling like because it feels jiggly, it's not properly installed. Glad to know that it jiggles.
Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for actually explaining the function and purpose of each part and how to clean it, other videos just left out the finer details.
Glad it was helpful!
My pin was stuck and I couldn’t figure it out until your video. Thank you!
Glad it helped!
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.
I would get a hold of instant pot support , they are very helpful and will prob help out
i have removed the silicon cap from the pin n tested steam run . failed . after watchng this i realised there should cap under pin ( valve) . now my steam run went fine . thanx .
Glad you are able to use it again . And thanks for commenting
thanks
