I had no power on my cepc800. Since parts are not available I had my husband tear it apart. If you are not electrically inclined don't try it....the problem in mine was a high temp resistor, which was bad. The problem was solved with a $2.50 resistor from our local electronics store.
Take the rubber ring out of the lid. Wash it with warm soapy water. Dry it. Oil it with vegetable oil. Now do you see how the rubber ring has a groove around it on the inside? Push your thumb into the groove and work it around the ring, you're trying to spread the rubber V out.
Put it back in the lid and take it for a test run.
In the future store your cooker with the lid upside down on top, keeping it closed will ruin the seal.
If it still won't seal replace the rubber parts, you can get a kit for your cooker from presto.
Pressure cookers rely on pressure and steam, Do a dry run first...well not dry but with just water, (no food) especially if it's an old cooker. Inspect for cracks or pinholes before you go ahead, a crack ANYWHERE in a pressure cooker makes it a bomb...or a flower pot. Ensure all safety devices like the pressure regulator and blow out plug are in good condition and not plugged. If some previous owner replaced the blow out plug with a bolt or something silly don't use the cooker till it's repaired. Bring your pressure cooker slowly up to pressure over medium heat with an inch or two of water in the bottom. When it starts to vent steam turn the heat down so the steam barely escapes, if it has a rocker weight it will wobble a couple times a minute.
Slow gentle heat is the trick. A cooker will run for hours like that without boiling dry.
A couple tips, use salt and spice sparingly, it's trapped in there and permeates the food. Be careful with foods that expand on cooking like rice and dried things, they can get up and block the vents if they reach the lid.

There doesn't seem to be any legit way of fixing this. I tinkered with the pressure sensors and valves, kicked the pressure cooker a few times, still the E4 error presented itself.
I was able to bypass the E4 error by completely bypassing the electronics and wiring the heater coil to get power whenever the pressure cooker is plugged in. It was a very simple job, anyone with any electrical experience can do this.

The only problem is that it is a safety concern as there is no way for the heater to turn off even if pressure is getting to be way too high. There may be a pressure relief valve in the lid but the heater coil won't shut off, so don't leave it unattended! But at least this way to you can still pressure cook.
