What do you do when the cork won't come out?

This seems to be a very common problem with the Waring. Have you tried recharging it for a day to see if that will work? This happened to our Waring a lot, so I finally gave up and bought an Oster cordless wine opener. I've never had any problems with the Oster. I would highly recommend it.

That's exactly why I threw two of these away. I pressed reverse but after a couple of times, they broke and stopped doing that. These are pieces of crap and I'm sorry I bought a few of them.

The product broke after a few days so I sent it back but I was thinking that there was a device on it that would pop the little plastic cork into the bottle. I really don't remember for sure.

I just tried to open a bottle with a rubber cork for the first time since I've owned it(bought it beginning of 2013), and it took a few times but eventually I got the cork high enough to just pull it out. The opener would not pull it out all the way.

on the few occasions that I've run into the same situation, I've just grabbed the end of the cork and pulled it off. Though there may be many other ways to deal with it. However, hope tis helps

I would recommend the cork gasket... Keep in mind, these sheets are 8'' X 11'' ....If the cork would fail , maybe try the rubber based gasket... Was there any old gasket left upon removal , do you know what the old gasket material was/is...

There is a metal loop that secures the cork. You can see it in the picture a bit; it's what the ribbon is tied to. That secures it very well and it can sometimes be difficult to release the cork.

Try taking the lid off when it is not sealed. Then seal it and try it again. You'll have major trouble removing the lid if it's sealed.

Reading previous responses you would need to put it between your legs or knees, while sitting to pop the cork out

The cork is not secured but I think its big enough for it not to be lost. I havent had a problem so far.

It would be best to use a wine stopper which will make a air tight seal. You can also use a cork if a stopper is not available. Cork is porous and may not make a tight seal when reinserted. Will work for any type of wine.

What's not clear is what the current position of the opener is. You have to readjust your grip if the cork is not coming up when lifting the handle. Can you send more detailed information?

Just thought of something... do you have a can of air that is used to clean the computer keyboards? That might work too. You might be able to put that thin straw down into the opening. I think you might crack it, if you try something else. You might also try contacting the manufacturer by e-mail. They may send you a new one.

You should be able to pull it back out. Maybe fish it out with a pair of tweezers?

I'm not sure if it can be opened, I haven't tried. My cork cage isn't close to being full yet. It holds a lot of corks :o)

The corks are straight not flared. If you can push it back into the neck of the bottle then it's not a tight seal and you'll see the wine flavor changed. There are wine cork machine you could use to recork the bottle, but that's another $20 or so and have to be reworked every time it was opened.

I've only used it a couple of times, but I think if you just hit the up arrow after the cork is removed, the cork should drop out. Hope this helps.

The Cork Pop has a seam at about half the length that twists to remove the cork. Grasp the top and bottom and give them a gentle twist - very easy!
