How do I disassemble this? The top knob come off but the strainer part is stuck maybe?

The strainer unscrews from the stem, but the knob does not, as far as I can tell.

I didn't have to use pliers the first time I took off the strainer, but now I do. Minor inconvenience compared to the cost and quality of the product.

I have the same problem...I have to use pliers to grip the stem, then twist off the strainer...I've also been unable to find a replacement strainer...bottom line, this is a lousy product...

As previously stated, the plunger rod is just tightened too far into the strainer nut. Use a pair of pliers on the rod to get a better grip and more torque. You don't need to tighten the threaded parts together like it's a piece of machinery. Just lightly hand-tighten and you will be able to disassemble easily in the future. Alternatively, you can do as I did and tighten the top handle on very well. This allows the strainer to spin off easily for cleaning. You really don't need to remove the handle from the rod.As an aside, this has been an excellent product. Performs just as well as an ordinary glass press without the fragility.

Unscrew the top lid. Just unscrew the lid, which might be a bit difficult, but it will unscrew. After you take off the lid itself, you have to sort of pry the inner lid up and off. No unscrewing necessary for that. Just work it out. You might try using a butter knife to get that part loose. NOT A STEAK KNIFE!! You'll poke your eye out!!!

Same thing happened to me. I just started to take it apart to clean it then the bottom part released. Hope this helps

It's probably just stuck. Pull the round knob gently and it should come loose and work fine.

Mine came assembled and I don't see a way (or at least an easy way) to disassemble it.

It only several times went apart, мostly I put on the upper rack of dishwasher as it is.I do not know how it happens, but I will try more.

It is very difficult. I ruined 2 of them before I got the knob off. I finally got one from another supplier and had no trouble. You can try to heat the knob since it is plastic. Maybe use a hair dryer but do a little at a time.

Take it apart it is not that hard to do.The plastic piece is usually broken if it needs replace.These are notorious for breaking.I replaced mine three times (granted twice were still under warranty).good luck

There's a hole in the side that's not for a button, take a screw driver or something and just gap it apart. the rest is just gently applying force until it separates. I haven't found a better way to do it.

http://www.appliancepartspros.com/upper-rack-track-parts-for-kitchenaid-kuds30ixwh1.html Open the link showing a diagram of your top rack. Part number 2 is the part you are looking at on Amazon. Remove rack from dishwasher (there is a retainer at the end of each drawer track that needs to be either removed or opened and the tray will slide out). Carefully unclip Part #11 from the rack and slide down ward until it will unclip from the rack adjuster. Mine were very brittle from age and I snapped one off. Remove second retaining clip part #12. Hard to explain how to do this, but it is not difficult. Release the middle of it, slide it upward and and it will come off. Remove the last retainer, part #9. I used a small screw driver to assist in releasing it. Next use a small screw driver to pry apart parts 8 & 10. The top part is tabbed and the bottom part snaps together so I gently pried it apart from the bottom sides (there was a small notch i could easily get into). The rack adjuster will now slide off. Do one at a time and use the other as a reference. Assembly is the reverse. Take you time - shouldn't take over 45-60 minutes. First side takes the longest, after you do one the other is easy. Hope this helps.

I would remove the top(unscrew lid) and then screw it back on. Also pinch where the number is located as directed in the instructions.

Turn the black base. This will separate the glass jar. The blade, the grey rubber ring (gasket) and the black base should be together now. Just flip the black base and the blade + gasket should fall out. There is no trick here. The gasket is always on the top of the blade. I am not sure I quite understand your question though. What exactly is the problem?

The strainer basket lifts right out for easy cleaning, etc. It could be easy to replace if you could find a new one.

The best I can tell it is, I don't see any way to separate them. I tried to unscrew the metal stem from the wheel and it doesn't move. Your best best would be to remove the old stems. If they won't come out I'd look for one that just has the wheel without the metal stem. I don't think this particular model will come apart.

Take off all of the spice dispensers and hold middle and while pressing down a little on the top cover turn it about about 1/8 turn left and it will lift right off. If your stacking it an not hanging it, don't imagine you would like to sell the hanging part, mine lost an hanging 'ear' and it hangs a little loose now?

I had some problems getting the thing apart too. I uploaded a picture with instructions. Hold the lowest part of the base in one hand, and then unscrew the ring counterclockwise to get it apart. From some of the answers I've seen to questions, there must be different models being sold under the same name. I was able to to unscrew everything by hand (there's no Allan wrench needed).

I am right-handed, so I hold the left side of the strainer with my left hand on the rim.... then take a butter knife and place it under the lip of the strainer and pry gently up using the rim of the plastic tub as a see-saw...it is snug and just needs a little help because there is a rubber seal on the strainer seat.
