My sip food jar keeps locking up when I use it for hot food and I can't open it to eat my food. How do I fix this problem?

Maybe you put too much in the jar. Does it do this for liquids only or for provisions and grains as well? If so it just might mean you put too much.

Try to put it into warm water for a while and then try to unscrew it. Good luck.

I have several of these and love them. When I push the button down it seals firmly and top does not come off. Then when needing to open I press the button down again and it opens just fine. I want more. You might make sure the gasket is clean and that the seal didn't melt in the dishwasher and is functioning properly. Good Luck!

Put in a fake combination after you close and lock it. I really never had the problem you're having, but tricking it with a fake combo is the only way I can think to arm it. Then it seems you'd need to put in the correct combo to open it. Good luck. If that doesn't work, contact the manufacturer about a fix or replace ment.

Can't help you friend. The instruction that came with mine , stated the lid is to remain open during operation. Sorry.

Yea we had the same problem. I think there's a problem with the seal, so it won't steam. We just returned it and gave up on it. If you've got a pressure cooker or even just a steamer + a blender you can make your own without baby food without this overpriced piece of defective garbage.

some times the wax can make the lid stick...i'd try running the container under very hot water, or setting it in a bowl of very hot water for a few minutes, then try again!

I haven't had that problem yet, but ours has already cracked at the top so we decided to quit using it. Half the time it was difficult to open certain jars especially plastic lids. I feel its not worth the money and I advise you to return it for a refund if you can.

Make sure your bowl is locked into place. Not sure what else could be the problem. (?Using the correct attachment.)

Try to make sure that the bag is not anywhere by the sensor and make sure that nothing is blocking the lid from coming down all the way otherwise it would close and open back and stay open sometimes. If that does not help try to turn off the power and manually push the lid down it seemed to help.

I have the same container and have not had any problems with it. You have to make sure it is closed good and that no air is getting in. If it does, the sugar will get hard. If you continue to have problems, you might contact the manufacturer and explain the problem to them. They are usually real good about helping.

There is a tan colored slide lock on both lids. Slide it towards the outside. o me the lock is a waste of time it stays closed without it. The you grab the center wavy plastic part of the lid and turn it so the arrows line up then lift up. Sometimes it gets hard to open so I close it back then try again or try the other lid. If the arrows are lined up you may need to pry it up maybe the store glued it on or something.

Am so sorry I cannot answer your question. I bought this as a gift for my son. Guessing you have kind of a vapor lock. Maybe put a very thin knife in and try to release the pressure that has built up. Know I need to do that when I open goods I have canned. Good luck.

Pardon me if these sound obvious: Is the bowl plugged in and working? Can it be operated by the switch on the bowl? Also, try moving the lid manually; it might be out of position. It should click several times as it is moved. Distance between bowl and tag and whether the tag is facing inward or outward influence when the lid opens. Dead new battery?! Good luck!

I assume it's locked up also? I'd contact the maker. They seem concerned that their product works well. They responded to my review about the poorly designed locking mechanism so they might just send you a replacement. Worth a shot!

Try pushing the straw in deeper. It happens to me when I take it apart to wash and don't put it back together properly. Hope it helps

Bummer! Mine just opened right up, but when I close it, I have to twist firmly to get it to "click" all the way closed. I have a trick I use when I can't get a jar open-maybe it will work for this: hold the container upside down, and smack it sharply on the counter top. You may have to do it a couple of times, but it always works on jars! Just make sure you keep it level, so you don't break the container...good luck & sorry I couldn't help more...
