Pressure Cooker Cover Handle 85233

I checked the model number and found both the upper and lower handles were still available. I ordered a new sealing ring and automatic air vent, since it had been years since I replaced those.

The bottom handle doesn\'t fit as securely as I would like, but I can\'t seem to screw the handle on any tighter. It is tight enough that I feel it won\'t be a problem. I love this pressure cooker and I am thrilled with the results!!!

Removal and replacement was easy. Just follow the enclosed instruction. I cleaned up the pressure cooker after the handle, vent pipe and ring(along with safety value) were removed. The pressure cooker should last another 44 years. The booklets that were purchased were to replace lost/missing booklets.

The repair involved two screws, one screw per handle.

Went to hardware store, they drilled out the broken off screw, I bought a 12 24 longer screw an bolted the new handle
