Original Float Valve for Instant Pot LUX 6 Qt 5Qt, Instant Pot Float Valve for IP-LUX50, IP-LUX60 Pressure Cooker with Seal Leaks Ring

Great replacement.

Thank goodness for this part to fix my Instant Pot. Easy to install, works perfectly and I am back cooking in my favorite kitchen appliance.

This came without instructions. Here's what I learned from the web. 1) put a finger over the float valve hole on the top (outside) of the lid. That keeps it from falling out too quickly. 2) flip the lid so that you see the bottom (inside) of the lid. 3) locate the white (or stained tan, if it's older) rubber silicone ring that encircles the float pin. 4) remove the old sealing ring, and release your finger from the outside of the lid so that the old float pin will fall out. 5) drop the NEW pin (SMALLER END FIRST) into the float valve's hole on the OUTSIDE of the lid. 6) hold the new pin in place with your finger on the OUTSIDE of the lid, and flip the lid over to the inside. Use the outside finger to push the pin upward toward the inside of the lif. 7) put the NEW seal ring onto the end of the pin. It's a tight fit. 8) verify that the newly replaced pin does not fall out. It works!!

I’ve got a 5 qt instant pot. I’ve had it awhile and now they are not the most common size. But all of my accessories fit this pot. And a new pot is expensive, so I wanted to save this one. This valve just went out. I used it one evening for dinner and the next night it would not seal. It wasn’t too hard to figure out what happened. I found this part easily. It came quickly. I put it on and it worked. It was a very easy replacement. I appreciate that. Later—after the move. So I was moving when I put the valve in. It popped right in, no problem. Just as I wrote earlier. I popped it in, put it in the box, packed it up nice and tight—safe and sound…. So a couple of months ago, I pull it out to make baked potatoes. It’s the only way to do potatoes now. The valve is still there….and….the lid won’t close. There is some sort of flat piece that has to pass over the valve in order for the lid to lock. So, back to the drawing board, so to speak. 1) is my appliance an Instant Pot—check 2) is my Instant Pot 5 Qt? No. It’s a 6 Qt. Who knew?! But this valve is supposed to be for a 5 or a 6 QT LUX. So check mark anyway. 3) is my instant Pot a Lux model? It seems to make a difference. Well, the model number is IP—LUX60. I feel safe making the assumption that it is indeed a LUX. Check, check, and check. So I look it up AGAIN on Amazon. It brings up my choices. I pick the most obvious one—oh look! There’s a “You Purchased” banner at the top. Did Amazon send the wrong valve? I ordered it again. Re wives it in the mail today, AND……it doesn’t work!!!! It won’t seat so that the thingy-thing can’t pass over the top and seal the pot! It also will not pass over the pot if I leave off the silicone gasket dealt that secures it inside the lid. So now what?? Instant Pot, if I have to buy another instant pot, it won’t be one of yours. Ohhhhhhhh—-figured it out. This says it fits the LUX 6, then it says it does NOT fit the LUX60….V3!!!!! Seriously!! You can’t make this up. This valve fits every other instant pot 6QT on the planet except my IP—LUX60–V3. The first rule of appliance making SHOULD BE easily replaced parts. You suck, instant pot.

That’s good

Perfect fit and easy install to replace worn seal of valve on my instant pot lux. Pot reaches and holds pressure perfectly again.

It has been years since I bought the original Intant Pot. This was the first time I hhad a problem with the original valve. When my Instant Pot began to fail to pressurize, it didn't take long to realize that the float valve silicone was the problem. This float valve and silicone seal was a breeze to replace and got us up and running again quickly. It is everything I expected.

This does the job. It isn’t quite the right size for my IP, but I’m not sure if I have a 6qt or 8qt, so that may be the issue. I have to jimmy the latch a bit to get it to open and close, now that I’ve gotten the hang of that it works fine.

Came on time, fit just right.

Same product as the original woks awesome!

Unable to put it on my instant pot. It says 6 qt on the lux model which is my instant pot. I don't know how to install it since it didn't say

Easy to install.
