My pressure cooker is not working

7 months ago

Looking for some advice my pressure cooker just stopped working out of the blue. It is an electric model (not a stovetop), and it was working fine until yesterday. Today, i went to use it, and it won’t start cooking. The display still lights up, and it looks like it is on, but there’s no pressure buildup or heat. The timer just sits there.

So far I’ve tried:

Unplugging and plugging it back in
Checking the seal and lid alignment
Cleaning out the pressure valve
Making sure the inner pot is seated correctly

Still no luck. I’ve had it for a little over a year, so I am guessing the warranty is out. Anyone else run into this with electric pressure cookers? Any last-ditch fixes i should try before replacing it?

Also open to replacement recommendations — something safe, reliable, and ideally not super expensive.

Thanks in advance!
