Angloof,

You state that

The suction/seal is impossible to break for a minutes or so after completing a cycle. Therefore I am assuming that the general system is sound.

If the suction is so strong that you cannot raise the lid, then I suspect that you are not getting any fluid in from the water input.

When the lid is closed, the suction from the pump is supposed to draw fresh water into the bowl to clean it and assist with evacuating the solids. Check the water input seacock to ensure that it is not closed or blocked, and check the water input hose for collapsing or kinks.
