Make sure you have it on the track correctly. If that doesn't do it I wish I could help you....mine actually stopped working all together and could not be returned. Haven't replaced it yet....not sure I'm going to either.

Leave the lid off and put oil in the pressure cooker and hit the browning button. When you're done select the cooking feature you want and put the lid back on.

If you have a hole to work with then you need to make threads. The tools is called a tap . A tap uses a drilled hole and cuts threads. Any hardware store will have a tap of the correct size or just take the pressure cooker to Ace ( or the like) along with the safety fuse and they will do it for you.

Not sure what to tell you. My pressure cooker is probably that old as well. This seal worked great on my cooker.

Go by the model number of your pressure cooker for accuracy when ordering parts. look up the part number for the seal.

Make sure the gasket is seated correctly and there is nothing in the lid channel. Otherwise it should just drop on and you twist to seal.

I actually just sent the lid to the pressure cooker to the factory for repair as it was leaking along the handle and not maintaining pressure.

I solved that problem by putting the maker in the freezer overnight. Don't know why that worked, but it did--the low temperature broke the vacuum seal(?)

Well I have only used it once...........for the stuffed peppers but..............it worked ok..........I believe the gasket is involved as it is an integral part of the pressure cooker

Before I bought mine, several reviews I read mentioned the steam coming out near the handle as the pressure builds. I believe there is a casual mention in the directions. This is ok. If you are getting s jet of steam from the valve, you may have the cooker too full and/or the heat too high. Be sure to only fill it to the full line inside and turn down the heat once the pressure is up. I find mine works fine below medium on my electric stove.

Yes. I replaced that also. It fit just fine. I haven't used the pressure cooker yet but I don't anticipate that it won't work.

I must be doing something wrong. My rice in pressure cooker is awful. But then I usually only make brown rice.

Look up the model # of your pressure cooker, you might try Presto directly, and they will list the parts available. I have several older pots, and have good luck except for the large gasket. Love my pressure cookers!!

Mine does the same thing, I believe it is a defect that these pressure cookers have. I didn't use mine for months after a I bought it so I didn't noticed that it had the defect and decided not to return it, but if I was you I would return it and get a better one, it should not be leaking water or steam through anywhere but the top.

Heck no! Do you want it to explode while cooking? If you want a seal buy a pressure cooker instead.

Yea we had the same problem. I think there's a problem with the seal, so it won't steam. We just returned it and gave up on it. If you've got a pressure cooker or even just a steamer + a blender you can make your own without baby food without this overpriced piece of defective garbage.

I sent my unit back because it never would start the timer, as if it hadn't gotten to pressure. However, what was in there got cooked. Ok....if you just let the pressure go down by itself, it may take 15 minutes before it will unlock. Just keep in mind that it will continue to cook some during this process. If you want to lower the pressure quickly, and think it will be messy, you can hold paper towels loosely over the valve while you release it.
