Instapot Locked Up After Switching to Pressure Mode

[djs4him]

Push the pin down with a chop stick (make sure it is not pressurized since hot steam will burn you). Then turn the lid while pushing the pin in

How were you sautéing with the lid on

 

[kcdny134]

@senti had did in sauté mode, thought I switched it to slow cook and noticed that it was sealed 

 

[crysacev]

Do not plug it back. Try temperature...allow pot to room temperature then in fridge for 4-6 hours, then try to open. Use a rubber/nylon hammer, tap in direction to open, side to side, not up and down. That might break the seal, if not, hit it harder.

Its called.patience...wait for it to de pressurize

 

[kcdny134]

@shardul007 no. It was just completely locked. My husband had to hit the pin to reset

Ive never used the saute setting with the lid on.

 

[kcdny134]

@jeff4100 it was obviously not intentional lol

 

[sam81]

I didn’t think you use the lid when sautéing?

 

[kcdny134]

@sam81 you don’t. I accidentally left it on and thought I had switched over to slow cook. 

 

[slidelltiger]

@kcdny134 I don’t use it for slow cook either. I use a glass lid that I purchased from Instant.

Does yours have a cancel button?

 

[tusolussanctus]

You are NOT supposed to have the lid on while saute. Sauteed us to basically stir fry on. High heat.

 

[godsgirl12]

did you push cancel?

 

[divinelambofgod]

Hope all goes well!

 

[trispy]

I am sorry. I hope it unlocks soon

I would let everything completely cool down then try opening again. Give it a couple hours. Then push down gently on the lid while turning it. I wouldn’t recommend putting it in the refrigerator. If any condensation accumulates from the warm pot on a cold frog it could damage the electronics

 

[arealwomanalwyz]

And I just saw this was from yesterday so hopefully you’re all set.

 

[kcdny134]

@arealwomanalwyz yes I am Ty!!
