Has anyone else had an issue where the dust cup latch ("B" in manual) is too short to fully engage leaving the cup loose?

Yes, it is too short. However, after working with it, you can get it to close.

I had some trouble getting the dust cup back in but after playing with it i got it in and locked, i pushed it in and up till it clicked. Definatly not easy though

I don't but I actually need to replace mine as well. With mine, the frother starting making odd sounds and while steam would come out of the want it would not froth the milk. I'm not sure if you have the same problem but I was able to fix mine in the interim. I determined that there was a loss in seal with the plastic gasket that goes inside the metal wand housing. I applied some duct tape to the housing and then slid the gasket on over the top, using some force to make sure it was very snug. That fixed the problem immediately and that solution has worked well for a few months now. I do plan to reach out to DeLonghi customer service however to inquire about new parts at some point.

It sounds like the base, cup and lid aren't connected properly. If they aren't, it won't run. Make sure they are aligned properly, if it don't run, do it all over. I guess it is one of those safety features. Mine did that about a month ago, then I got it to work! Good luck, I sure hope I was able to help you. :)

If its the Pressure valve on the side of the bottom chamber, then it a definite defect and you should request a replacement. If it's the coffee release valve( that consists of two pieces) on the upper chamber, then you need to make sure that top piece is secured tightly to the screw like piece underneath.

Hmmm. I have had to use a screw driver as well, but with success. So, my only advice is to try again with the screw driver because the lid is very tight. Good luck.

Have you tried giving it a good shake and jolt? It worked for me suffering the same problem. Sometimes the lock latch engages just enough to keep the lid down.

Hold the cup with the handle slightly angled to the left, and turn counterclockwise (to your right). That should snap it into place. Not too much effort needed.

LOL, yes, this is a huge issue with these big bubba cups. You have to twist the lid to the left or right using the dip in the top lid for leverage. The twist will break the seal/lid suction, then you have to get your fingers in the tiny gap created between the cup and lid, then pry open. It is an awful process that takes lots of practice. I can't believe more people haven't had this issue. Needs to be redesigned desperately. Great seal, so no leaks, but practically impossible to open. Good luck.

The one I have is so tight, I have to manually slide it down to allow the seat belt to fully retract. Maybe yours is defective.

There was no trick that I know of. I don't have it with me or I would take a look. You may need to get replacement. I'm really happy with mine and I've tried quite a few.

Mine was a bit snug, but with a bit of pressure it was still able to close it. You can also try flipping it over. Look at the little weld points and see if any of them are sticking up, if so. use a metal file on it or just return for new one.

I have no problem with my latch, so you might want to get a replacement or call cuisinart.

There was a recall on it, but they send a new latch/belt and now it works great. I never had a problem with the "sticking" that some people had, but requested a replacement latch from graco just to be safe. Overall, we love this car seat, the cup holders are a must have.

same here- tried cleaning it, no luck- when I first turn it on a lot of mist comes out and then hardly any, then puffs, then nothingedit- just poured out a lot of the water out of the cup and it works beautifully again! I think it requires a lot less water in the cup than you might think...I misplaced the measuring cup that came with mine. Although if yours doesn't mist at all that's probably not the problem....edit again- it ran out of water before the cycle was done...so that doesn't seem right to me either

On mine the auto choke does not stay on long enough so I have to manually choke it by holding the lever over and will usually start

I had the same problem...it is the poorly designed side latches....some times it would work and most times it wouldn't...cut your losses and send it back and get another brand....you will hate this machine if you keep it or not even use it since it is such a hassle.

No problems with ours, have been using it for a couple of months now. Latch is tricky, and easily broken.
