Fixing "LID" error in instapot (Duo Crisp)


For anybody having "LID" error in their instapot (Duo Crisp) when using the air fryer

My instapot recently started showing the "LID"error when I use the air fryer lid (not the pressure cooker lid). Afer some googling I tried to press the lid as hard as possible and still no success. In my frustration I took it apart to see if I could figure out any thing (Sorry did not capture that process but its pretty straight forward, all you you would need is a torque and star screwdriver)

Note: If your appliance is under warranty dont disassemble it and void your warranty 

Anyway after taking apart everything I realized the issue was with the contact switch 😭

Yes the one circled below



I pulled and pressed it few times and it started working

Here is a video I made of it showing the LID error


Anyway hopefully its useful to somebody
