I received the replacement valve and pot. Now my insignia instapot won't hold pressure. It keeps seeping steam/spritz out of the float valve. I am ready to toss it in the trash. It worked bafore I replaced that stem. I should've kept it.

OK after much digging, I found the old valve and now it is pressurizing.
