- Have you ever spilled anything inside your Instant Pot?
▼ Click below to read more▼
It's easy to thoroughly clean the lid and the inner pot, but what if you've spilled food down inside without the inner pot?
You can only reach maybe 1/2" under the heating plate to clean it, so if you've had an accident and gotten food underneath, you'll need to remove the heating plate completely to give your pressure cooker a thorough cleaning.
In this video I show you how to remove the heating plate in order and clean underneath it.
Please note: Disassembling your Instant Pot may void your warranty, so proceed at your own risk.

Wow! That’s how you make a DIY video. No unnecessary graphics, music, or other chitchat. Thank you so much for posting this.
Video stopped just after he removed blue and red wire. Video stayed stopped for the time he explained info over the next minute or so. So I had no visual for that minute. Glad I was just watching and not needing / wanting to disassemble.
Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you! I dropped something in mine this morning & it wouldn't shake out. This video is a life-saver (or at least a money saver).
Thanks, that worked exactly as you said! I dropped dry beans in the pot without the liner and after a lot fell out I could hear what seemed like a whole lot more that would NOT come out. Ugh! I did take the bottom off but when I saw all the wiring I closed it back up. Then I found your video and it was SO helpful. Step by step, easy peasy. Thank you so much!!! Excellent teacher. You remind me of my late dad who showed me so many mechanical things over the years. :-)
I can’t seem to get the screw out of the bottom and I’ve tried two different Phillips screwdrivers. Any tips for somebody with arthritis in their hands to get this done? I was careless and put black-eyed peas in the Instant pot after I had taken out the stainless steel pot insert? I feel really stupid.
I can’t find the beans and they’re still moving around in there.
A glass container fell out of the cabinet and shattered all over into my instant pot. The glass is rattling around inside. I'm glad other people were successful with this video Cross your fingers and wish me luck. Going to tackle this next weekend lol
@@privatestillprivate3571mine required a number 2.5 hex wrench rather than a Phillips head.
Brilliant video -- clear narration, concise, to the point, great camera angles. Very, very helpful. Here is another tip -- when undertaking this project, work on a big enough surface so that you can create an enclosure around the work with some rolled up towels, in case you accidentally drop one of the tiny parts and it starts to roll away. Please don't ask how I learned this trick.
That NEVER happens to me - :/
My wife dumped dry beans into the inside then wanted to use it anyway. “Is that smoke?” 😂
EXTREMELY METHODICAL AND STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS; THANK YOU .
This video is exceptional on its clarity and great visuals.
You are an incredible teacher! Thanks for making such a direct and thorough instructional video with amazing and clear camera angles! I feel confident that I can now fix my beloved instantpot that I thought was ruined! 😄🙏🏼
An instant pot saver, indeed! I accidentally poured wet rice into the works. Two days of drying out and following this video and our instant pot is back in business. Good suggestion to take a photo of the innards first, because ours is not quite the same (several more wires). Our outside cover screw was six pointed. Fortunately my socket wrench set had a six point driver. I also used the socket wrench to remove and replace the two nuts and washers. Can't thank you enough
You’re definitely not the only one who has dumped wet rice in there, we just did a couple days ago! 😫 But I’m so thankful for this video!
Thank you so much for these clear and straight forward instructions. My sweet husband found only an additional step which was to unscrew the yellow ground cable to be able to release the top plate. Everything else was the same. Thanks again☺
I had to do that, too. I think that is because my model is the Duo series, so a slightly later model. I just kept track of which screws went where. There were also washers on all my screws, so I had to keep track of them, too. Will test tomorrow! But the gunk from the steel-cut oats and water was never going to all come out by itself. Moldy. At least I'm not the only person who did something like this!
Mine was like this as well, since I have an IP Duo 6.
Excellent step by step instructions, and I learned how to magnetize a screwdriver. Thank you!
Just found you and you are fantastic. I have a thick coating of melted plastic over the whole heating surface. I am hopeful I won’t have to replace the part. Thanks for the help.
Thanks for the video!
So I was getting ready to make some nice black beans for dinner. I always do a quick high-temp soak first. I took out the insert, carried it over to the 1-pound bag of beans. Carefully opened the bag, then walked back to my instant pot and dumped them inside--without the insert.
All the shaking and banging I did wouldn't get the last dozen beans out. It just rattled and rattled.
I followed your video carefully and got the beans out and everything back together. I have some pretty small socket wrenches, (it's 7mm for the two nuts) so I didn't have to use vice grips.
Thanks again!
Thanks for the 7mm tip. That make getting those nuts out so much easier!
I had a nasty boil over of sugar syrup. So glad I found your video. Took me longer to find the tools than to disassemble. 👍👍👍
What a FAN...TAS...TIC Instructor you are... This was VERY well done ...Thank you soooo much.
Great video, straight to the point with no distractions, and would really like to go after lid in a similar strip down manner, however, avoiding, pliers if we could use a nut driver or wrench/socket if necessary. I think that if someone is brave and smart enough to attempt to tackle such a job, then they will be willing to obtain a more proper tool, call it a bit of audience analysis.
Great video. Have you ever try to disassemble the lid as well? Love to see how to disassemble the lid. Thanks.
I found this helpful and made me want to see if I could do this. I know this is for like, dried bits of food or rice that falls down inside the heat plate. But this led me down the rabbit hole after I poured about 1 cup of coconut milk into the pot without the liner pot. I immediately flipped the pot over to drain but all that did was drain coconut milk into more areas of the guts where all the workings are. I have the ultra and it’s more complex and has more wires and instead of bolts to hold the heat plate it has three screws plus the little one that’s located in the white silicone tray thing. One of which is under the the circuit board, so that had to be removed as well as what I think is the temperature sensor. (Has the silicone white protector tray with the black wires connected in blue to the circuit board)
I took phone photos and put the screws on sticky notes with a description. EVERYTHING (outer metal sleeve as well) had to be unscrewed and wiped down with q-tips, tooth picks, small pieces of paper towels and small cotton towels. There was coconut milk in between the screws, washers, brackets that hold the circuit board and the bottom of the circuit board. Luckily the circuit board did not have any coconut milk on it! And I did not attempt to take any wires off the circuit board except for the plugged in ones. But there was no way to access the screws for the heat plate without taking the circuit board AND the temp sensor thing. 3.5 hours later, all assembled, I tested with water on high sauté. Tiny amount of smoke wafted up from inside between the liner pot and the pot itself. Now to test the temperature settings to make sure I did not mess up that part. The control pad looked untouched by the coconut milk and it’s still working after the disassembly and reassembly. A replacement base for a Ultra 80 is $95 plus shipping/tax. I figured I might get lucky and save not having to replace it. I learned a lot about this instant pot. I paid for my stupidity. And next it will be to find out if I pay again if the cleanup of this instant pot still fails.
My issue was dumping a hot mixture of BBQ sauce and grape jelly from the meatballs back into the pot. I didn't realize that my friend had put the pot in the sink to soak. Then of course, I did the same as you and turned it upside down to attempt to drain the pot, which only made the guts get drenched with the sauce... clear to the inside of the top of the pot. I even had to remove the lid pressure sensor. Since I didn't find a video of the process to completely disassemble my IP DUO 6, my friend shot the video of me completing the process back to where this one stopped. I finally got to bed at 5:30am on New Years Day, MUCH later than usual!
You saved my instant pot! I dropped like I peas in and couldn't get them out. Your video was excellent, to the point, clear, and easy to follow. Thank you so much!
DARN!! I just dumped dry rice in the pot thinking the liner was in it!!
I'm using this video to try and remove the rice.
Thanks.
I'm here because I drop some oil in it accidentally
exactly why i'm here...ugh what a nightmare
That’s why I am here, my instant pot bottom isn’t a Phillip screw don’t know how to get it off
Taylor Garrett, a small hex key is what I used. I dumped rinsed, un-soaked pinto beans in my pot without the liner. (face palm) I jiggled the beans out. Luckily there was barely any water, but I wanted to see if there was visible moisture under the plastic plate. I am gong to use a hair dryer on low cool to gently dry it out, just in case.
Does this also apply to the ultra model?
Quite a serviceable unit! Nice.
I didnt think i would find a video like this. I checked by chance. I forgot the inside was not inside the pot and threw some peas inside so that my daughter would know the amt to cook. Most of the peas went underneath.. Luckily i didnt add water😀😀..will work on it over the weekend..thnx a mill
WARNING!!! Firstly, thank you for giving detailed instructions. The part about the hard-to-remove screw should get an edit. That screw in my case had the stem shear before it loosened. It's a low-quality screw for that application, almost like they want it to fail if it gets worked on. It might have helped if I'd done it while hot, which has its own set of concerns. That part appears to be a delicate thermal switch, and without that screw making tight contact with the heater element casting I'm assuming the pot will malfunction or be unsafe.
Thank you. I tried VERY FOOLISHLY to boil a small batch of whole shrimp in my IP. After days of cleaning, the stench from inside the base was unbearable. I took off the bottom casing and poured 1/4 c white vinegar and rolled it around to clear the inside walls. I poured vinegar in the base top and let in run through to do the same. I used a large paint brush to clean higher up the walls and under the base on the inside. It is drying now...and smells like white vinegar...which is VASTLY better than the shrimp. I will post after I try it out tomorrow.
I am unsure of what you were describing? Are you talking about the actual pot housing? where the element is? Did you pour vinegar in that area? Or were you just describing the lid construction? lol! I you did describe the main housing, please don't switch it on lol!
Great video. The magnetic screwdriver work around was great. Also, I see that there is a fuse inside, and that it can be checked by removing only the bottom piece.
My IP stopped working and I suspected the fuse. I found a YT video somewhere telling how to replace the fuse and where to buy one on amazon. Replaced it and it works like a charm ever since! The mfr. won't tell you about any of this because they want you to just buy another one.
Absolutely incredible vid!
Wish all instructional videos were as good as yours. Greatly appreciate! Thanks👍👍👍👍
Hi Sir
Thank you so much for making this video!!!! You helped me save my Insta pot my sister gave me for Christmas!!!! I done exactly what you said and I got my Insta pot clean and I can use it again! God bless you!!!! Please keep making your videos!!! They are wonderful!!!!!
Thank you so much for this video. I purchased a LUX 60 V3 at goodwill for $10 yesterday so I would have an extra bowl and the inside needed cleaning terribly so I told myself that's alright it will clean up nicely with an SOS pad. Went to clean it and removed the pan, then realized it was filthy under there as well. I didn't stop where you did and took this one completely down to clean out the grease someone had apparently used in it. It seems that it was used as a pressure fryer instead and I'm pretty sure we can't do that. I cleaned it all up, put it back together, put my ring from my DUO in it today (I don't want to use that ring so I tossed it) and steamed some asparagus tonight.
Both the DUO 60 and LUX 60 seem to have interchangeable lids as well. The bodies of the two are different, my DUO is shorter and wider than the LUX which is taller and skinnier and they have most of the same options on them.
5:15 I believe the piece on the inside of the instant pot (that connects to CN103 on the board) is actually a thermometer (thermister), not a pressure sensor.
If you used the liner, upside down on the counter and put the IP over it, wouldn't it make it easier to unscrew/screw the heating plate? Great video and definitely a keeper for future reference!
That's actually a good idea!
Ha ha! Shhhhh! A+ student don't embarrass the teacher
that is helpful. I was going to have to get a friend to help as I don't work well 1 handed.
Nice tip! Work smarter, not harder.
.. put a pad over the liner so it wont scratch as it drops onto it .. shhhh, actually, you feel more in control of the situation like the master showed us .. ha, ha ..
Thank you thank you thank you!!!!! I took my instant pot in the car to travel to a friends house with egg flower soup in it and it spilled everywhere, in the pot in the car and on the towels around it! I scrubbed and scrubbed but I just couldnt get it to come clean all the way before I took it apart. This tutorial was so helpful!
Thank you so much. Dry beans fell in my IP. Followed this and it was a success.
I did put my liner in to help keep it in place. Also took a blue marker and marked the white piece of the blue wires. Very well done and easy to follow.
I was unable to get the middle screw out and just stripped the head. However, when I took off the nuts, The plate loosened enough so that I could shake all the glass out. thank you so much. You made a terrifying and intimidating job easy.
Omg i thought ill never get anyone who actually talk about this bit thank you thank you thank you
If you've dropped water or food in your Instant Pot without the liner in, don't immediately turn it over. Have someone hold the pot up while you take off the bottom plate. Notice that all the connections have white plastic "umbrellas" over them. If water or food rain down on them from above, they somewhat protect the connections. But if you turn the pot over right away, whatever is on the bottom plate will be dumped back onto the wires. You'll have less mess to clean if you take off the bottom plate as I mentioned.
We took off the bottom plate and cleaned what water we could; however, ours would not come on at all.
Nice video dear. It helped me today in cleaning my nutricook in which my wife accidentally put the rice without inside container 😅. Though it was nutricook but its bottom structure was ilttle different like it didnt have nuts connected with heating plate rather it had 3 screews and one of them was under the circuit board so had to unscrew the circuit board as well. Bt ur video gave me idea and courage to go for the self cleaning. Thanks alot
Thank you very much for explaining the steps so nicely. I was able to easily clean the cooker which seemed impossible.
You saved the day! Great work!
Thank you so much! I put some dry beans in my exterior pot by accident and they went under the heating element. I was able to get them out easily by watching this video! I used a mini ratchet to get the small bolts off the underneath.
I just did the same thing, which led me to this video. I guess I'm going to have to try this to get the last bean out. I also see some dried on food down in there. Another reason to do this.
@@gloriacrawford6911 So frustrating!
Thanks a lot. Had something rattling inside and this video helped. Love how you're straight to the point!
This was a great video, thank you Bill. Helped me get some loose rice that was stuck inside! 😃
Thanks, it's really helpful video to clean instant pot. I cleaned my instant pot. Appreciate your video! 🙏😊
Thanks so much for this - it literally saved my Crock Pot having tipped chopped veggies and olive oil into the base without the cooking pot in place! All cleaned and now I know how to do it again should my poat just need a routine clean up. 😁
Excellent and easy to follow presentation! Thank you.
Bill, Karl here in Denver. Thank you so much for taking the time to explain and show the disassemblly of the IP base.
Very nicely done video. Clear and informative.
Thanks for detailed instructions
Thank you for this video! This helped me save my instapot from a sleep deprived mistake.
Thank you so much! It worked. And thank you for the details. Now my Instant Pot can stop smelling like burnt food.
Thank you! Saved me from having to replace my instant pot AND I learned how to make a screwdriver magnetic.
Very helpful but there have been a couple design changes.
The bottom screw has a torx head, not a philips head now.
The pot sensor now has a ground wire.
Warning! These are really cheap screws and the heads strip easily. Make sure you have the right sized bit, place a lot of pressure when unscrewing, and don’t strip it!
Thanks for the excellent instructions
Another design change! Instead of two hex nuts holding the heating element (in addition to the Phillips head screw) there now seem to be 3 Phillips head screws, one of which is under the circuit board!!!
Don’t know how to get to it!
Thank you! Your video saved me from having to buy a new Pot!
If yours doesn’t have the two nuts holding the plate, you’ll have two large screws instead. One is under the circuit board. To get that off you have to undo the three screws holding the round plastic base (the stand), then the black case that holds the circuit board will unclip where two of the screws were.
Good video. On the other hand it shows the pot's design shortcomings.
Very good instructions. Worked to a tee. Thanks
Your tutorial is a good starting point but unfortunately there are several different Instant Pot designs. Not all of them are as easy to disassemble. Ours has three screws and a thermal cut off switch attached to the hot plate and requires the circuit board to be removed to reach one of the screws. Ultimately pretty much a full disassembly is required.
Great! You saved my instant pot, thanks!
Based on some diagrams I think the tightness of the heating element would affect the pressure sensor's calibration. I'd expect a torque spec on the screws, at least the one that's hard to line up, because it looks like that one connects the element to the pressure sensor (but then why is that a Philips and not something with better engagement?). I'd also expect a need to recalibrate the pressure sensor after reassembly. But hopefully these parts are more independent and robust in their margin for error than I'm imagining. I fear having things cook totally differently after reassembly.
Considering that this affects the pressure sensor, would disassembly/reassembly be dangerous? Worried about turning my pressure cooker into a bomb.
Needs to be vids like this for the newer pots too theres not one guide out there on how to do this
Well this is pretty scary looking, but I dumped rice in my instant pot and now am receiving an error code so I think this is my only solution. Thank you for these instructions. I plan to use them step by step. If I would have taken the bottom off and seen those wires without these instructions, I would have given up right away.
Worked like a charm! Thanks for your video!
Thanks so much! I poured oil and sliced Polska kill bossa in my instant pot without having the inner pot and oil dripped out of every orifice and I thought I was doomed. My husband is able to fix it now.
Very nice and detailed video. Do I ever need to clean a heating plate itself? If say for example there might be some food/ liquid residue And if yes, then can you explain how? Thank you.
Victoria Kim yes you should clean it with a damp towel.
I dumped water in the pot thinking the liner was in it. I quickly unplugged it and dried it with a paper napkin and then with a dryer inside and under the pot. Then I tried to open it and removed the first screw, as you show, but since my rice cooker was not the same, there was no way to remove the bottom lid. If I don't use the rice cooker for 3 days so that it dries completely, can I use it again without any problems? As the wether is very hot it may not get to rust, what do you think?
u are a god amongst men
Thanks for the video, we cleaned it just right
Good video and informative. BUT be aware I did this with my Instant Pot Duo Gourmet and the inside is quite a bit different. I had to remove many more things including the control board. After all of that there were three washer plates that were under the heating element. The one in the video doesn't look like they had any. Those are a royal pain to get back on. I had to balance the instant pot on one hand while I tried lining everything up. It took maybe close to an hour from start to finish. Definitely not 5 minutes.
Hi. I just bought an IP and I thought I'd just vacuum out anything if it got under the heating plate. Thanks for the video. Subscribed. Judy.
Hi,
That is certainly a good thing to try first. However, there are some things that are sticky or gooey that just won't come out, not to mention the residue they might leave. And I don't know about you, but I really don't want to use my vacuum on anything that I use to prepare food. I wish I could say my vacuum was cleaner but it would be a lie....:D
what about aluminum foil rolled around the heat pad and replace it as soon as it gets soiled ? I would like to get an expert answer ?
Thanks for such a detailed video. I had a sleep walking husband who decided to crack open a dozen eggs into my ultra IP when the inner pot was in the dish drying stand. I opened up the bottom and got the egg mostly out but now I have a constant smell of burnt scrambled eggs! 😫🤢 and get a "hot" message
LOL! Sleep walking husband!
@@nicholejones8002 Secret Saboteur more likely... I don't buy it. He'd wake up with an Insta"POOP in a pot" on his head... 😉 I don't believe "Somnambulist Excuses for Mayhem" PERIOD.

Is there a way to clean hard stains on the surface of the heating plate without removing the parts?
Question!!Where can I buy a new heating plate for my damaged Instant Pot?
Proper tool for those nuts is a socket. Plyers are always a last resort on nuts and bolts.
A nut driver set it cheap at harbor freight
You should have made the video Mr. Snapon! Putz!
@@SirCricket really you're the kind of clown that trolls year old comments on CZcams videos to pick internet fights from your keyboard. And you call me a PUTZ! That's priceless. 🤣
@@SamaritanElad Exactly what I was thinking, the magnetized ones (but given the cheapness of the construction, I'll wager that they are aluminum nuts).
@@RIDERSONLINEORG totally agree, he is a troll pervert!
I'm pretty good at doing repairs, and followed your video with my IP Ultra after having a gallon of milk boil over into the bottom. I'm now getting a C6L error code after putting it all back together. The ultra is a little different than the one you worked on, a few more wires, but all else looks similar. any suggestions?
I have the larger instant pot and am having trouble finding the bolt you were loosing to release the hot plate.
Great video tho!
I watched your video because I had soup poured in my 8 qt IP by mistake. I followed your instructions, made sure everything dried well, sat overnight. I did a test run with 2 cups water - 5 minutes. At the end of 5 minutes, the pot started spewing steam like a quick release but noone touched it. I opened the vent and let it finish. Now I'm concerned about using it. Would appreciate any info you might know that caused this. My IP was a Mother's Day gift so hope i can salvage it. When I took the heating unit out, the 3 elements were discolored. I wonder if that is a factor. Thank you for any help.
I want to thank you so very very very very much for letting me know you need to fill ups screwdriver to take the bottom off the instapot I made a mistake of pouring some militant there will my while my kitchen was dark in my actual pot was not in there and I was having a hell of a time getting it out finally use the leaf blower after I took the bottom out the blow the shit out so I still think it's a toroid or some sort of thing in there but apparently they think I got it open with the Philips Solis you motivated me to try to take the bottom off which I did being in I'm still concerned as to what type of screw it is I just tighten it in as much as I couldn't left enough so I can grab it with a pliers and open it up at some other time thank you so very much you are a lifesaver
I think it's Phillips, and all that means is the tip is in the shape of a cross instead of being a single flat line.
Great video. Thank you so much! Just joined your channel.
Note: on my model, the screw that removes the plastic bottom requires a star-shaped screwdriver.
Is there an updated version of this video. My Duo Plus is not laid out like this. Plus it has a couple of star drive bolts.
mine isn't either, it also has these oblong metal discs under the heating element, wondering what they're for
@@wangana5955 I have a Duo Mini, which started showing the same error. After watching this video started opening up. Found that the internals are different. Just need a screwdriver. Very important to take a photo of the wire connections as suggested. Start removing one by one, all the way upto the heater plate. Note how they're connected. Clean the oblong metals discs completed including any rust. Start assembling back, beginning with the oblong metals. Ensure the spring is locked into the two poles and the 3 poles on the heater plate are aligned correctly. It should resolve the issue.
Well darn, I dumped black beans into my brand new InstaPot Gourmet. I followed your directions, no problem, until, well, my pot has screws instead of nuts. I stripped the second screw and can’t remove it (or the lining). So $100 down the drain because they don’t take returns here in Mexico. I’ve reassembled it for now, but wonder if you know how I can remove the stripped screw. I tried the rubber band trick, but it didn’t work :( Thanks for the clear instructions!
Hello :) Fantastic demonstration, but I don't think I would be keen enough to remove the mechanisms to get to the element lol! I wondered whether it is possible to use a narrow strip of silver foil and gently place that around the element to protect the space beneath the plate inside the inner pot? Would that create short circuit issues? I don't mean to pack the foil underneath, but just lay it gently around the outer rim in the base to prevent food from collecting? Let us know won't you? Thanks so much in advance!
Great instruction. Red pin on my Duo pops right out. Must have lost parts during cleaning. Any idea where to get lid parts to secure pin ??
5:40 I would have used a socket set to remove these. A locking wrench seems like the hard way to do it.
Many "thumbs up"! Thank You!!!
YOU ARE EXTRAORDINARY ! I MUST ADMIT ***** I do repair many complicated computers mother boards but i am little afraid of this one !!! I am thinking if I use the aluminum foil rolled up around the heating element what happens ? the foil will surround the heat-element plate & will block the food debris to get down to the bottom except liquid spill ! can it make short circuit > I don't think so but it's easy to throw away a piece of aluminum foil and replace it with new one. I do all the time for the drip pan on the electric stove !
skylark304 did you ever get an answer to that aluminum foil question I don't see one I'm looking for the answer too
Could you please show us how to dissasemble the lid? The quick release of mine is not working, tried to dissasemble but could not do it! Would you please help me? Thank you!
Yes, I poured h1lf a gallon of water and garlic inside without the inner pot...House smells like garlic and I messed up the pot..I feel your feeling.
Is it possible to disconnect the temperature sensor? Very much tired of Burn Errors. I have a few pots and one never produces but the others always display and STOP cooking. I need them to continue cooking despite what the "robot" thinks is a burn or not.
I think on my model the last screw (that holds the heating element) is soldered or welded as I can't get it out. I bought a screw extractor and still can't budge it.
Merci pour la vidéo
شكرا لك على هذا الفيديو الجميل 😍😍😍😍😍😘😘😘😘😘
I was trying to clean the IP, for there was food underneath the heating plate. I have disassembled the bottom to release the plate. When I notice a screw with a plastic covering it, I cleaned the plastic thinking that that was one of the screws holding the heating plate. I unscrewed it. Happens that It was a adjusting screw for a relay that I don't know what it is for.
How can I re-adjust correctly that screw?
Thanks.
Hi, i have an Instant Pot duo crisp + air fryer error code c6h/ c6l. It appears even after replacing the pressure sensor which everyone in the youtube tutorials seem to suggest doing. Any suggestions what might be the cause and a possible solution?
On my 8 quart instant pot, one of the screws that hold the heating element is underneath the circuit board tray and you cannot access it. The tray will not come out even after unscrewing as they entire tray is connected to the frame which is screwed to the bottom. In addition, there is a yellow wire connected to the spring-loaded thing that needs to be removed. Does anyone know how to disassemble the 8 qt version without taking the entire bottom apart or drilling a large hole in the circuit board tray to get access to the heating element screw?
I’m dealing with the same thing. Cannot find a video.
Hi this is great but my problem is separating the plastic housing from the metal liner on the lid. I found out what my problem is & need to access the lid "innards" Anyone know how? Cant find video. Thank you!
I have the DUO PLUS model. It has a single Torx T-10 screw (looks like a star) holding the bottom plate on. Don't try to use phillips head or you will strip it.
Watching for a friend.he is special and poured water in his without the liner
lol
Thank you so much but I need to know which chemicals can be used to clean the heating plate?
My pot hears just fine but cant saute cause get e4 and stops. Hiw to fix pressure switch.
I forgot to put the inner pot in so I found a video that say dry the inside with a dry towel and turn it upside down for 24 hours and if its not dry then put it another 24 hours .Well am putting mine upside down for a week lol.It wasn't plugged in when I pour the water ,hope that's a plus .
i have 3 quart &. can't find the fuse. Any comments or suggestions?
Hi. Thanks for the video. Do you know where i can buy a replacement bottom lid. The first element that you remove. I accidentally turn on my stove and it melted. No cable was damaged
I threw a tarp over my countertops and did some sanding on my cabinets because they have been painted 7 or 8 times since 1960 and you can tell there's hinges on there but you can't see the screws! As I've been scraping and peeling and sanding uptain layers of paint until I got to the original, leaded, 1960 paint! Didn't realize that my tarp had shifted a little and in the back corner my instant pot was exposed! Apple ID is covered in dust and bits of paint chips and crap! It's filthy! I know I cannot submerge the lid. can I lightly spray it with some 409 and clean it up with some paper towels and then lightly and quickly run it under some hot running water to rinse? It's not usable as dirty as it is now, of course. I can't imagine using a cloth or paper towel and getting it clean enough for my liking without running it under some water. I have some spray bottles that are like aerosol.are really cool they are about $10 a piece but worth it.I can put a very small amount of degreaser in a lot of hot water and one of those and missed it and clean it mostly if I can run it under some water and rinse it! I have a thing about finishing stuff off and running water LOL
I just came from a video on Six Sister Stuff channel where she does a deep clean of the lid -- but the comments have several people saying people prefer to put lid through dishwasher on top rack. Other people soak the smaller pieces and wash the lid like any dish.
So my vote is: it's safe to wash like a dish, but probably best not leave it soaking underwater.
Edit: Found official video saying lid is entirely washable. czcams.com/video/01JjQVGR24o/video.html
