Death of my Instant Pot (pressure cooker)

It died. I am grieving. One day made a beautiful batch of yogurt, next day it wouldn't heat up. No idea why. But for the IP owners out there, the customer service was fantastic! I put in a support ticket with the IP folks over the weekend. Monday morning by 10 had a response. The wanted me to do a water test, and if that failed then to send pics of the liner pot, the sticker on the outside of it, and a pic of the interior. They immediately emailed back again indicating they put a new unit (not the liner nor lid) in the mail and gave me a fed ex number. Dang. Never had it that easy before!  The unit was only 4 months old and I did have to send them the receipt. I bought it on Amazon, so you can always go back in to pull the invoice. Just sharing in case anyone out there has an issue. 

RIP

This cracked me up when I read it :)

The two of you had a good run.

What can I say, it is just like a man. Getting all hot and bothered one day, and the next day nothing at all. No calls. No notes. Nothing. 

Hot dayum, that's what we like to hear! I mean, boo that it died, but YAY for awesome customer service!

Hope it gets here super quick and you're back to pressurizing your food in no time!

This was like reading a book!   I was sad, then happy now waiting on the edge of my seat to see how it ends and if the two of you can have the same relationship you did in the beginning 

RIP Instant Pot1.

I tell you, mine took a serious fall a couple months ago. I cried. Fortunately, it still works despite the huge dent around the control panel. I'd be lost without it.

I was reading on the Facebook page that you can use this suction cup thingy that people use to pull a dent out of a car to fix it. Whatever they are called, I don't think they are too pricey. My son got one to try to fix the hot mess my husband made out of the car that he handed down to him. It was red, dented to all hell, had bondo on it, some dents the hubby spray painted a different shade of red, and the trunk keyhole didn't work so my hubby put a cord through it that hung out and dangled. We called it the tampon car due to the splotchy red mess and the little tampon string hanging out the end. Betcha you didn't see the relationship between a dented IP, spray paint, a beat up hoopdiie, and a tampon prior to the post! Yea, I can tell it is the end of the school year- my adhd brain is all over the place!

First of all, amazing story!

I used the suction cup that holds my kitchen sponges to get the giant dent out of the back.

I'm too afraid to try to de-dent around the control panel for fear of breaking it. ;) For now, it works so I'll enjoy it in its beautiful dented glory.

FYI: don't pick up your pot by the handle. Gravity is a *****
