Pot Displays E6 Error Code
On digital display, E6 Error appears while cooking or upon initial power up.
Steam Release Valve
Check steam release valve to ensure that it opens properly to allow excess steam to exit. Any build up within the valve or the valve cover can cause the valve to malfunction.
For more details see Steam Release Valve Replacement Guide.
Device Needs Reset
Unplug power cord and reconnect, resetting the internal system.
For more details see Power Cord Installation Guide.
Unit Too Hot
Try removing pot from unit and letting cool outside. If the unit was previously on a saute/brown cycle it may be too hot to seal properly.
Sediment In Bottom Of Pot
Stir the contents of the pot causing sediment to lift the sediment from the bottom of the pot. Heavy sediment can give a false error even if there is enough liquid inside.
For more details see Owner's Manual.
Pot Fails to Power On
When pot is plugged in, there is no indication of power on digital display.
Internally Damaged Power Cord
Ensure power cord is fully connected to an appropriate outlet and crock pot input, LED interface panel should be lit.
For more details see Power Cord Installation Guide.
Pot Overheats
While cooking, pot becomes excessively hot causing burning or error codes.
Steam Release Valve Malfunction
Check steam release valve to ensure that it opens properly to allow excess steam to exit. Any build up within the valve or the valve cover can cause the valve to malfunction.
For more details see Steam Release Valve Replacement Guide.
Bobber Valve Malfunction
Check Bobber Valve for proper operation, ensure the valve opens and closes properly and that all parts are present.
For more details see Bobber Valve Replacement Guide.
Pot Fails to Heat Up
When pot is turned on to a cooking cycle, it fails to gain appropriate heat to execute selected cycle.
Improperly Installed/Damaged Seal
Take off the lid, flip the lid over, and ensure the rubber seal is fully secured against retaining ring and seal is not damaged.
For more details see Sealing Ring Replacement Guide.
Heating Element Not Operating to Specification

Overall, great start! Here are some items to fix:
The quote marks allow you italicize. Remove them except for the summary underneath each heading, e.g., Kindle 7th Generation Troubleshooting
Put a space between the equals signs and the characters: ===Sediment In Bottom Of Pot===
This will get you your subheading formatting.
Don’t randomly capitalize nouns, e.g., “Device.”
Read for grammatical errors, e.g.: “"Stir the contents of the pot causing sediment to lift the bottom of the pot. Heavy sediment can give a false error even if there is sufficient liquid inside"
Try to incorporate a specific replacement for each troubleshooting section. Then, we can link to the guides later by embedding the hyperlink on those components that are suggested need to be replaced.

My pressure release started releasing steam before the cycle was done - On its own. Its never done that before… is this common or is it a problem?

Second time I've attempted to use the pressure cooker on the express crock pot to no avail. What a piece of crap. I've had pressure cookers in the past and I guess what I need to do is go back to a pressure cooker. Not happy with this at all you know what they say. You get what you pay for bad investment

Spilled grease into heating element area. How do I remove the whole inner cover to get to circuits from the top to clean it out. In other words, how do I completely disassemble it.

After cooking a pot of beans, my lid won’t unlock, moving the steam bobber doesn’t release the steam. I’ve tried turning it off & letting it sit for an hour, it won’t depressurize. What do I do?
Juan Esparza - crwdns2934203:0crwdne2934203:0
This is the problem I'm having right now and can't find answers anywhere! I'm afraid it could blow up since the steam won't release. It's been unplugged for 1.5 hours now and still won't release steam and the lid is still locked

My crockpot multi cocker leaks pressure from lid sides and stay in a heating mode , I replaced the silicone seal with original new one, but the same issue is still, what should I do, kindly advise
Omar khedher - crwdns2934203:0crwdne2934203:0
I am also having the same problem, and I noticed the bobber valve does not go up either. The bobber valve seems to be locked in the down position when the lid is on, which seems to defeat the purpose and prevent the cooker from pressurizing

I gifted my brother who live in the Philippines a Crock-pot 8-Quart Multi-Use XL Express. Completely forgot that the standard voltage there is 220 and not 110 like it is here in the U.S. When he plugged it in the 1st time, the blue LED lights turned on for a quick second befor the crock-pot sparked… does that mean it’s broken forever or is there a way to fix it? Please help! Thank you in advance.

the replacement lid on the Crockpot Express I received has the inner lid misaligned with the markings and does not fit as it is supposed to. It does not allow the lid to lock. Can I disassemble the lid and try to realign it correctly??

Commenting here seems to be pretty pointless. I don't see any help anywhere. Just lots of questions. Unless I'm going to be emailed an answer, Idk...
Anyway.. I'm afraid my Pressure Cooker may explode! It ran through the cycle fine. Completed cooking but the pressure release valve will not release any Steam at all. When you turn it it does nothing. The lid has also locked for almost 2 hours. It's been turned off for almost 2 hours. There are no answers anywhere online on what to do or how long the process should take. Instapot has answers everywhere. Why doesn't Crock-Pot Express have answers everywhere? I tried restarting it. Unplugged it for 10 minutes (I did 20 minutes to be sure) then restarting it to see if it would release some pressure but it still did nothing. I tried that one more time. Nothing.
Don't know if this helps but the only issue I've ever had is that I get the E6 error message pretty frequently.
