The plug going into the body of the cooker does not seem to fit securely. Anyone else have this problem?

We don't have this problem. We did have to push it hard into position but once it's in, it fits securely... Sorry to hear that you have this problem....

Yes, cord simply appears unnecessarily thick and just plain bulky, that it requires the cord to be plugged into an outlet in just such a way that the cord won't have a tension going against the way its inserted I to the device. Other wise the way it plugs in the device simply feels entirely insecure and not likely to hold.

I haven't had that problem, but I sure am having a hard time getting it to fit into the universal plug adapters. Not at all what I thought I was buying...

No, but this issue can happen if the plug isn't quite making the right contact with the socket. If giving it a jiggle or taking it out and putting it back in doesn't solve the problem, they might be defective.

I never had any issues. You may be right that the casing doesn't fit properly.

I don't have this problem. Check if the top inside plate and other removable items on the lid are tightly snapped in.

As another suggested, make sure you get the left side to click in and then push right side in and make sure it snaps into 'lock'. I had trouble the first few times, but I love my rice cooker.

Sometimes mine is like that. Angle it upward and push in firmly. You don't need to have a perfect fit. Just test it before you put your food on it so it doesn't fall.

Mine does the same thing. I haven't bothered with it yet cause I haven't needed to hold it down. Best solution is to puts some tape around the plug on the part that goes into the hole and then glue it in with a quality glue. Before I glue mine I was also thinking about putting a solid 1/4" or smaller iron rod through the whole length off the inside to add some weight to it. You can purchase that at Lowe's and they should cut it to size for you. Hope that helps you friend!

We have the cooker as do some of my friends and we all love it and use it often. If the water bubblers out you may be putting too much in. Also we purchased the more expensive cooker as the other one didn't work well.

Sometimes, there is a little water or steam leakage, from around the bottom rim near the handle, when the pressure is building up.Before cooking,take a little food oil (olive ,vegetable,etc.) & grease the gasket around the rim. This helps to make the seal last longer & keep the seal between the lid ,gasket , & the bottom cooker.If a lot of water is coming out when the cooker is getting up to pressure , turn off the heat,let the pressure drop, & check the gaskets position. I have been using a pressure cooker for over 25 years, & have not had a bad incident ,yet .

Either the cooker is defective or the lid is not sealing properly. As you are placing the lid on and turning to lock it, press down in the center of the lid lightly to seal it more firmly.Also, make sure the jiggler is not stopped up. I always run water thru mine to make sure it is not clogged, especially if you cook rice, potatoes or starchy foods. After each use of your cooker, wash it well, including the rubber seal, oil the rubber seal with olive or canola oil and place it in the pot, not back into the lid, for storage. Hope this helps.

well I wound up buying 2 different rings.. First one was too large and I kept it. So, what I did was ,cut the large ring to fit my pressure cooker top, and sent it in showing them the exact size, and they STILL sent me the wrong size (too small). I wound up buying a new pressure cooker. Thats the truth.

I have not had that problem. I use my cooker several times a week to poach eggs. Eggs are cooked to perfection each and every time.

Once in a while I have a little leakage but it is because I don't get the gasket in exactly right. As long as I am careful to place the gasket in properly and check to see that it seals all around the inner lid I don't have any leakage at all. I cook small servings so there isn't much water in the cooker.

Hi Allyson, my cooker does the same thing. Overcooks, does not sit well, water boils over and I'm so unhappy with it I can't return it as it's too expensive to return because of the mailing cosyt Would Amazon take it back and pay return postage it was expensive!!!! Lucy Plus you can't put in dishwasher like my old one from 1940.

There is a small placement hole that slips over my cooker's tab that makes the gasket align correctly. Hope this helps.
