What Does “L000” Mean?
“L000” is an error code alerting you to a specific issue common to Instant Pot devices: namely, that their lid is not properly secured. In an ideal world, your Instant Pot should detect the issue before it becomes an issue and alert you – and you’ll see the “L000” message on the device’s display.
What Can I Do About It?
Addressing this problem really isn’t that difficult, and shouldn’t take you longer than a minute or two. Here’s what you should do:
- First, check to see that the outer rim of the lid is properly aligned with the pressure cooker.
- Make sure the lid is firmly closed and locked in place.
- Verify that the steam release valve is closed.
- Check that all parts of the lid are properly secured. This includes the sealing ring, the anti-block shield, and the float valve.
If the lid is properly secured and the “L000” message won’t go away, try unplugging and re-plugging the device. This should reset the device and clear the error message – however, if the issue persists, you may need to contact customer support for assistance.
