The little red valve thing fell out of my pressure cooker from QVC. com. I think I need the ring to hold it in place. Where do I order parts. My pressure cooker broke a year from purchase. 1/5/2024 but I didn't receive it until over a week and a half later. So, I'm not sure if it's in warranty. Thanks. JRH
