How do you get the lid on - it is too big and I can't make it fit?

If you look closely the lid has a small protrusion if you put that in first you shouldn't have any trouble. We have been using using ours for about three weeks and have not had any trouble with the lid.

My lid fit ok. It was a little bit tight. but the handle was broken and I have not used it. Still in its box from last year.

I gave this away as a gift but I checked it out before hand and didn't have any trouble with the lid.

To be totally honest (which I always am) I don't know. I have not bought anything with a wide lid. I'm so sorry I'm not more help.

Hum, not sure. I do the hole in the other end, but not sure that is the problem. You are putting the lid on, right? If so it might just be a defective unit.

I had the same problem. It has to do with the lid being secure and the latches in the proper position. Try taking the lid off and putting it back on then secure the latches as close to the front of the unit as possible. Takes a few times to get the hang of how to secure the latches. Cheers, Jeff.

I would remove the top(unscrew lid) and then screw it back on. Also pinch where the number is located as directed in the instructions.

What I did was measure the opening on the lid, mine fell within the range of this top. Just make sure you order whichever top is within the size of your lid opening. I did have to use the metal ring that comes with it to hold it on, but I've not been sorry I ordered it.

Flip the bottom over and try to snap in. (could be upside down) I tried the first way too, looks like it should be the inside but it isn't. After turning it, it snaped in easy. (little pressure) then slide one side at a time and snap in place. The only complicated part to me was the lid, make sure to get the hindges in.

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.

Mine does not fit snug, but there is no gap. You won't get the proper temperature if it doesn't fit right. There should be a rubber gasket on the edge of the lid.

I would call or post the company! It sounds like your helper handle was attached incorrectly. Mine looks like the picture and I cannot see how the lid fits if the handle is tipping towards the inside. Good luck!

No - It doesn't fit snugly. If you push the lid in place as shown in the photo and then turn everything upside-down the lid will fall off.

Aww I did but I threw my trash can in the trash when I got this!! Sorry! Maybe contact Rubbermaid directly and tell them you need a lid. They may be able to help.

Just give the lid a little twist and then lift. Or push on one side w/ thumb until it pops the pressure a little. Easy, peesy. It is a Great Product.

I dip a large, fluffy brush in & tap the excess into the lid. Hope that helps!

I don't have an answer for you, because I neither have nor use a lid with mine. I would suggest contacting the manufacture.

Put a dab of oil on your finger and rub it around the rim of the lid and you have your problem solved. Don´t put too much oil so that the lid will not come loose.

Also, put the lid down off center then rotate it so it faces front. I highly recommend you buy a replacement gasket NOW. I have one of his cookers heading to the trash after an unsuccessful six month search
