I've not had a problem; I suggest you contact the mfg co...check for warranty time period first!

I've used mine well over 100 times and the metal prongs are still solid. Must be defective, I'd send it back

I'm sorry I can't help you. I haven't had mine quite that long, but haven't had any problems with it. I'm guessing the plastic catch has worn out. There is a 1year warranty, so if you contact the mfg, they may send you a new part.

I believe the adapter ring is plastic. If you contact the company I think they will replace it for you.

I am glad those who have answered aren't having this problem, but I really am only interested in resolving my problem and hearing from anyone who has the same issue only, not that some people don't have this issue, that doesn't help at all. I have researched other websites and find there are many others who also have this problem, has something to do with internal plastic. Guess it's time to move onto a new mixer.

Try repairing them. Usually works after that; I have the same problem onces in awhile.

I would see if I can contact Meike for a replacement. If that isn't an option, just use the 72mm ring with a 77-72mm step down ring. (~$5).

Re prime your lines. I had This happen as well. Also make sure your ring look good. It is cheap to replace.

Same issue here... In the process of cleaning it out, I saw that the small plastic ring had fallen off and was at the bottom of the bottle. I reattached it and Viola! It started working again!

I must admit I have no idea, not having tried the R&M; rings. Maybe they're solid rings and not soldered? I don't know.The Norpro rings work fine though. I've used them a few times and haven't had any issues.

They aren't rings. They are clamps. It took a while to figure it out. Better instructions would be helpful.

I just got mine and have the same problem. Was thinking I could put the s-ring in the pre-made fabric loop.. but that doesn't seem safe.

You need to adjust the net. Spread the clips around evenly on the ring and keep adjusting what part of the net is attached to the clips until it is balanced. It is not easy to get right. :(

I've had this rod for over six months and this has not happened. I was concerned about this too. I have used both metal and plastic shower curtain rings on this rod. Hope this helps!

My relative, who works in manufacturing of similar items, has told me that the airtight silicone seals are meant to stay in place. Apparently, higher temperatures can affect the effectiveness, and the silicone ring may start falling out of place. I would contact the manufacturer to see if they will send you a replacement, might be easier than returning to a merchant, especially if it has been some time. http://progressiveintl.com/contact

Never had any issue, the plastic ring spins incredibly easily for me. You may want to try spraying some WD40 and don't tighten it so hard.
