I have made a batch of ice cream, but can't unscrew the lid. No tool came with this. Any suggestions?

A tool should have come with it; one did with mine. I just found mine - I thought I'd thrown it out. If you want me to mail it to you, send me your address and I'll send it.

I'm not aware of any place to unscrew the lid! If you want, you can text me a picture at 443-794-0735. I should think it can probably be removed, but mine looks like the picture. Does the sticker cover the button or one of the ports?

There is a pull tab on the lid that may require a pair of pliers to tear it around and free it from the main part of the lid. Also, I think you have to use a pair of scissors or a knife to get the tear started. It is not easy.

Insert a butter knife and it will loosen and pop out, it will become easier! Mine was stiff at first, but now works perfectly with my fingernail .

I tried to open and close the lid when it is empty. I had to use booth of my thumbs to push it open. I am not sure what is the best solution other than a different design.

Open the lid, and at the base of the lid where it connects to the body, there's a small metal bar that is slid into a locked position in the body. While the lid is upright, gently guide the bar up, over, and past the little lock, and pull up. It should come right out.

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.

Hi Carol. At the bottom is a small indentation where you put a coin or screwdriver and gently but firmly pry the top and bottom apart. Hope this helps.

My husband took a hacksaw and made 2 slits in the right rear of the lid. Then drilled a few small holes and popped the square out. The tube now does not have to be undone to remove the lid. I have a picture but don't see any way of attaching.

Take off the plastic pieces on top all of them and the tool will just screw on the top and come off. If this don't help you let me know I will send you a video of me taking mine apart.

Are you able to fit the opener over the jar's lid? Here are general instructions: This device has 3 parts. 2 things you grab as the user: the handle (the big thing sticking out) and the screw top dial thing (the wedge thing on the disk), and 1 thing on the opener that grabs onto the jar: the teeth. The wedge on the disk controls how the opener grabs the jar's lid, and the handle controls how you open the jar after the opener grabs said lid. Put the opener on top of the jar with the teeth down on the lid. Pinch the screw dial wedge top of the opener and turn it to the left. The teeth will open wider as you turn left. Turn the top left until the teeth fit around the cap of the jar. Then turn right until they dig into the jar's lid. Then use the handle to turn the opener which is now screwed into the jar's lid to rotate the lid off the jar by putting one hand on the jar to hold it still, putting your other hand on the opener handle, and then turning the opener handle lefty loosey.

It doesn't unscrew, it is a press fit. I took a pair of pliers and squeezed hard and twisted the tip out then just pushed the new tip on using the pliers on metal edges of the tip. Hope that helps.

It is a screw-off lid but is very difficult the first time. I used an "ice pick" and put it through the slots and it helped me free the bond and unscrew the top. You can use a screwdriver or any kitchen tool (spoon?) that can fit through the slot. After that first time, it is easier to work.

Unscrew retaining nut, remove washer, slowly working the edge ply the metal lid up. Careful not to damage the rubber, for inner rubber covered lid, gently pull rubber barrel edge back to release pressure/vacuum, then pull up inner rubber covered lid. It can be pulled by the stud that held the nut inplace.

On the backside are two small holes, and a "tool" is delivered with the unit. It is a slip of plastic, with two pins to fit in the holes.You just have to twist the lid to open it, the trick is to get hold on that thing.

I haven't see the lid by itself, but I have a feeling that if someone would contact Nordic Ware directly, I bet they could help you with a new lid. I have had great success with going direct to handle a problem. Give it a try and good luck!

You need a socket wrench with a long extension to reach down into the pitcher. While using a pair of needle nose pliers to hod the part under the pitcher still, use the socket wrench to loosen the nut on top of the blades. Pay attention to how everything comes apart so you reassemble correctly- especially the rubber gaskets.
