Hey! My dad has been using instant pots for years and is all of a sudden having trouble? We put in the right amount of water, but still get the “burn” thing only like five minutes after starting the cook. Then the instant pot sometimes doesn’t pressurize. The valve is clean and thoroughly on the right setting. The lid is secure, the lip thingy is clean and intact, perfectly positioned. But things won’t cook properly at all. We’ve replaced instant pots several times for these same issues. But none of them seem to work longer than a month. Is this a problem for anyone else? Is it user error somehow? Everything is clean and I’ve looked up common mistakes and none of them seem to fit our problem.
