Alternatively, you can try ordering a replacement valve from a third-party seller or an online retailer that specializes in pressure cooker parts. Make sure to check the compatibility of the valve with your specific model of Fagor pressure cooker before making a purchase.
When installing the replacement valve, be sure to follow the instructions provided by Fagor or the manufacturer of the replacement part to ensure proper installation and avoid any potential safety hazards.

Here are some steps you can take to address the issue:
- Turn off the gas supply: If your appliance is powered by gas, turn off the gas supply to the appliance to prevent any potential gas leaks or fires.
- Turn off the power supply: If your appliance is powered by electricity, turn off the power supply to the appliance to prevent any potential electrical hazards.
- Identify the source of the leak: Locate the source of the leak on the valve. If it's a minor leak, you may be able to tighten the connections with a wrench. If the valve itself is damaged or cracked, it will need to be replaced.
- Replace the valve: If the valve is damaged or cracked, you will need to replace it. You can contact Fagor or a qualified technician to obtain the correct replacement part and to have it installed correctly.
- Test for leaks: Once the new valve is installed, test for leaks by turning on the gas or power supply and checking for any gas or water leaks. If you detect any leaks, turn off the supply and address the issue before using the appliance.
It's important to address any issues with your appliance as soon as possible to prevent any potential hazards or further damage. If you're not comfortable performing these steps yourself, it's best to contact a qualified technician to assist you.

1. Turn off the heat source and allow the pressure cooker to cool completely before attempting any repairs.
2. Remove the control valve from the pressure cooker. The control valve is typically located on the lid of the pressure cooker and can be removed by turning it counterclockwise.
3. Inspect the control valve carefully for any damage or debris. If there is any visible damage, replace the control valve with a new one.
4. Clean the control valve thoroughly with a soft-bristled brush and soapy water to remove any debris or buildup. Rinse the valve with clean water and dry it completely.
5. Reinstall the control valve onto the lid of the pressure cooker by turning it clockwise until it is secure.
6. Test the pressure cooker to make sure the leak has been resolved. Fill the pressure cooker with water and heat it up until it reaches pressure. Observe the control valve to make sure there is no longer any leaking. If the leak persists, it is possible that the control valve is not the source of the issue. In this case, it may be necessary to replace other parts of thepressure cooker, such as the gasket or safety valve. If you are unsure about how to perform any of these repairs, it is best to contact a professional for assistance.
