Unfixable?
I’ve had a 3 quart instant pot for probably more than 10 years. A few months ago I had it plugged in and cooking under pressure when I smelled a kind of burning smell. I thought I had possibly had some small piece of food fall between the liner and the casing. I think it must’ve been late at night because I’ll often pressure cook something at night that I then retrieve in the morning cause it’s often something that I will freeze most of the portions for. Usually when the food is done, there will be an off light on, but when I got up in the morning, there was no light at all, and the food has not cooked. I’ve had a lot of other things going on so I haven’t followed up, but is it Kaputt? Is it dumb to think that it could be repaired when it might cost as much as buying a new one? It’s such a solid piece of machinery that it’s hard to imagine that it’s going into a landfill but I don’t even know what to try because I bought it new at a swap meet. The Eight court I bought at the same time is still going strong.
