Tefal Clipso series pressure cookers are long-lasting; however, over time, the gasket may harden, steam leakage may begin, or the pressure indicator/valve assembly on the lid may lose performance. In this article, I explain step-by-step the most needed spare parts, which part solves which symptom, and what to look for when choosing a part.
Most Frequently Replaced Spare Parts in Tefal Clipso
1) Lid Gasket (Sealing Rubber)
- What does it do? Provides a seal between the lid and the pot body; helps to keep the pressure stable.
- When to replace? Steam leakage, whistling sound from the lid edge, prolonged cooking time, cracks/deformation seen on the gasket.
- Tip: Choosing the wrong liter/diameter gasket is one of the most common reasons for "steam leakage" complaints.
2) Pressure Indicator / Valve Assembly and Gasket
- What does it do? Shows pressure buildup and supports the lid's operation for safe cooking.
- When to replace? If the pressure indicator does not rise/fall properly, if there is abnormal steam leakage, or if the part is worn out.
- Tip: If there is a problem in this assembly, changing only the main gasket may not always be the solution.
Choosing the Right Part According to the Symptom
- Steam escaping from the edge of the lid: Priority is the lid gasket (check liter/diameter compatibility).
- Leaking from the pressure indicator/valve area: The pressure indicator-valve assembly and/or the relevant small gasket/clip set should be checked.
- Cooking time prolonged, pot takes a long time to reach pressure: The gasket may have hardened; also, the valve/indicator may be dirty (cleaning + check).

Maintenance and Safety: Make Parts Last Longer
- After each use, wash the gasket with warm water and dry thoroughly; oil residue can shorten gasket life.
- Clean the valve/indicator area regularly; blockages can delay pressure buildup.
- Do not use chemical/harsh sponges; especially the gasket surface can wear out quickly.
- When you see deformation, do not force it; replacing the part is healthier for safety.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is gasket replacement difficult?
Generally, no. In most Clipso models, the gasket is removed from the lid and the new one is seated in the same groove. However, as there may be model differences, it is good to refer to the steps in the videos.
Which gasket for which liter?
Under the same "Clipso" name, there are different liters/diameters. Gaskets for 4–6 L are different from 8–10 L. The healthiest approach is to check your pot's liter information and the measurements of your old gasket.
How do I know if the valve or the gasket is faulty?
If the leak is around the lid, it is mostly the main gasket; if the leak is in the valve/indicator area, the relevant valve assembly/gasket is indicated. If you are not sure, it is more accurate to observe the leak point and choose the part accordingly.
