OK so the lid will not close! Have only had this for 8 weeks, really! anybody else?

It will close easier if you run the rubber ring under cold water for a few seconds for it to retract. The lips on the top of the lid for the purpose of catching your thumb and finger in twisting the lid open or close are tiny and hurt when trying to turn the darn thing when it's difficult to turn. Bottom line is cheap rubber lid ring for a design of having to deal with hot liquid that will cause it to expand?!?! Makes no sense.

I've noticed a dribble out of this one lately but only when at the far extreme pouring angle like trying to get the last drops

I bought this last year as a replacement for my original lid. The gasket of the original one had stretched which made it extremely difficult to open and close. I have had no issue with this one.

I've never had this problem with mine. In fact, I don't even use the lid anymore. I just put milk in until the stirrer is barely covered, and the the milk doesn't slosh over the edge. Is the lid's rubber gasket seated correctly? Be sure not to fill it above the "Max" line?

I dont think you are doing something wrong , mine locks in tight and i havent had this problem. As long as thermos is in its place it should not be able to come out. You might need a replacment

I've used this product about 6-8 times so far and absolutly love it. I seek out things to pressure can. As long as the little arrow on the lid lines up when I twist it closed, I have no issues at all. Sounds like something is defective and I would try to return it if you still can.

Mine has only gotten more difficult to use. If the can isn't EXACTLY round, it just stops and I have to start over again in a different spot and hope I can pry the lid off. I wouldn't buy this again, and have thrown it away.

Same problem with mine, haven't been able to find replacement lids anywhere.

We have not had a problem with the lid. This is our second one, the first we had over 6 years and just wanted an 'upgrade' with the basket style. Perhaps the inserted basket to catch the fall off is not properly installed. If the lid is not closing, that sounds like a manufacturing defect and possibly could be contained to only a few units. We like it because of the large capacity and overall functions. I shopped for a capable product and ended up with T-Fal again. For us, it by far is the best buy for what we use it for. Good Luck

I never had the lid get stuck, but I've experienced the cups bottom getting stuck so I just carefully lifted it up. Perhaps you could do the same in the opposite direction.

Yes. I have no issues with the lid. I do close it when I'm not using it. But it does stay open when I am.

I've had 2 of these. My newest one, the lid is definitely tighter, but still a one handed operation. If it doesn't get easier quickly, I'd get a different one. Is the seal glued on properly? Maybe it slipped??

I just received a new one today from Amazon and the top does not seal at all. The lid fell off in the shipping box. Am returning it for replacement and hoping that the next one seals properly, otherwise I'll have to purchase it somewhere where I can test it before buying.

I would email the Kruzco customer service, they replaced one for me because the lid wouldn't seat properly. Not had a problem with it shutting off after 4hours. K

No problems. I love this lid. I bought 2. It been about 6 months. Easy to clean.

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.

That's odd - I'd say let it cool down completely, but I haven't had to do that so it shouldn't be an issue. Did you release all the pressure from the tank? Maybe have someone hold the release button while you try getting the lid to budge?

If I remember correctly it's locked with the little silver bit on the front of the lid. Pull that bit out til the edge is flush with the rest of the lid. Hope it works/helps!

That's a bit odd, we have had no trouble latching the lid. Are you sure you are seating the lid properly; if so, then, as inlikely as it may be, perhaps the lid is misshaped or the latch deffective.
