If only the inner pot is replaced without replacing the rubber packing, external air may flow in due to deformation of the existing packing, causing the rice to ripen or spoil quickly. Cuckoo rubber packing parts are consumables, not permanent parts, and the official recommended replacement period is 1 year. Therefore, if you replace only the inner pot, the above problem may occur, and in this case, the inner pot product is not defective. You can return the product up to 14 days from the day you receive it.
