Well the problem with any mold is that it's alive, more or less. So, once it starts, one either kills it or does not. What I did (no longer have that machine,) was always wipe the inside of the seal with a solution of pure liquid bleach, applied on a rag, using my finger tip (rubber gloves, OK) as the applicator. That more or less did the job... depending on how bad it was. But there's no doubt it's a troublesome problem. The other thing I frequently did was run a load of HOT water in the empty machine, with about a quart of pure bleach. I think you get the drift: mold is not your buddy; kill it!

You should write to the company you bought it from... there is a section where you can contact the seller and let them know, I'm sure it was a mistake and they will send you the gaskets for free. Mine had them.

There appears to be a single screw that is holding the gasket in place. Removing it shouldn't be an issue.

For those who are having trouble with the rubber gasket coming loose, have you taken it off previously? I've had mine for a year or so, with no problems, other than peanut butter getting under the gasket a bit. Not sure if I should take it off, so I have been cleaning it with the gasket intact.

Never had this happen. My original finally just deteriorated after 12 years and I had to replace. Maybe wrap it in duct tape?

The gaskets are replaceable. That being said, I've had the same gaskets for over two years now and there hasn't been any sign of aging or cracking in the rubber.

Sorry, I am unable to help. I did mine by cutting with a razor and soaking in hot water to loosen the rubber. Good luck. Let me know if I was of any help.

My gasket was not built in. The entire bottom of the glass section of the blender came apart for cleaning. My gasket cracked in half and the replacement worked perfectly. Hope this helps you.

Take it to a local tire repair service center. They can patch it. Will be cheaper. We have done this twice.

I haven't had to replace it but I want to remove it so I can clean it better to keep mold away from the birds and this one pops right back in, which I find helpful.

good luck. i tried to get help from the number listed on the directions. the directions don't match the parts. you just find the gasket that fits your part. my husband got a little frustrated. we almost returned it, but we got it.

A tiny little white rubber gasket is inset into the inner edge of the blade section. I remove it from time to time to clean under it but I accidentally broke one. I was able to order replacements on Amazon.

They are out of business. I had one of these and it died the third time I used it so I called the company and they are not taking orders or giving any service....If you still want a gasket I would look on ebay.Good luck

We've had ours for about a year and a half. Despite rigorous rinsing, cleaning with the included brush (a laughably useless addition, by the way), and thorough drying, the lip and gasket are covered in black mold. It's incredibly gross. We're replacing it with something else (possibly another brand, because this isn't okay), even though we paid a lot for it.

I haven't had that problem, but needed a gasket. Called Slime and they were very responsive - hopefully they can help you out too.

I returned mine because it got mold around the gasket and it was too difficult to clean - didn't want to use bleach substance -
