Why won't the lid stay on?

The lid should fit very snug unless you don't have the silicon gasket in place.

The lid stays on the cup that I have. A small rubber gasket thing on the lid is what holds it in place.

I have bought 4 of these. The ones that I have trouble with the lids staying on have been through the dishwasher often - which is not recommended.

My snap on lids work fine, not a bit of trouble.not sure what happening with yours. sorry.

Never had that problem, check to be sure the "button" that rests on the lid of the pot moves up and down and is not stuck. Be sure the lid is on the pot!

There is a clip at the back of the lid. Press down and lift the lid and it comes odd. Do the reverse to put lid back on.

Just make sure the lid is placed correctly. It gets in place with just a couple of twists.

Make sure the gasket is seated correctly and there is nothing in the lid channel. Otherwise it should just drop on and you twist to seal.

I have not had this problem (yet). The reason that I bought this model was that the write-up claimed that the lid was "easy to open". I'm disappointed to hear that you are having this problem. If you do get it to open, apply the silicone o-ring lube to the threads also. This will help prevent them from seizing in the future.

I haven't had that problem...quite the opposite. The lid was on so tight I had trouble getting it off.

If you open the lid fully until you feel it click it will stay in that position. Kind of like how a car door has that open point where it won't swing shut.

Sometimes you have to take the lid off and pull the pieces apart... it is made to do this when you wash it... then click it all back together and it will work.

Hold the base with one hand and rotate the lid with the other. If that doesn't work, you might have a dud. Ours works just fine.

You are correct, I have the same problem. It would seem that the lids don't exactly fit the bottom, as it's difficult to line them up to snap it down.

I use a butter knife and wedge it under the edge of the lid and then try sliding it across so that I can pry it off. Sometimes it's easier to pry open when it's not overfilled. Good luck! Hope this helps.

Yes, we've never had a problem with the lid falling off. If you try to pour with a full unfiltered reservoir then it might be a different story (unless you physically hold the lid down), but otherwise it's always stayed on perfectly.

If the lid is not moving, I would take it off again and check the seal on the inside of the lid to make sure it is fitting properly. It should close very easily. Possibly the seal has come out of position or isn't fitting into the grove properly.

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.

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. :)
