so sorry to read about the difficulty in cleaning the gasket. Almost purchased this today. Have other users found this to be true also?

I have not had any problems cleaning the gasket, but a bit of attention must be paid to it. The advantage of its existence outweighs any difficulty.

We've had ours for about a year and a half. Despite rigorous rinsing, cleaning with the included brush (a laughably useless addition, by the way), and thorough drying, the lip and gasket are covered in black mold. It's incredibly gross. We're replacing it with something else (possibly another brand, because this isn't okay), even though we paid a lot for it.

Perhaps my unit is different than those who have had a positive experience cleaning the gasket. I have found it to be very difficult to clean - the only thing that works for me is running it through the dishwasher. I regret my purchase.

They have changed it now. I find no problem at all in cleaning the gasket. There are now little open slots at the top that allow me to rinse under the gasket. They also have a little tool to use should something get stuck under there. But I have only had to use the tool once. I have had the product about 4 months and use it regularly. I only usually just need to rinse through the slots and it gets everything out.

For many uses of this food processor you can circumvent the gasket cleaning issue by putting "cling wrap" over the top of the bowl before you clamp on the top with the gasket. What little residue (if any) that is deposited on the gasket easily rinses off.

I've had the same problem as other reviewers--food gunk gets stuck in the handle and above the lid's gasket. I really wish Cuisinart would offer a replacement bowl for this model that doesn't get food stuck in it. Seems like a no-brainer.

I use my unit mainly for bread dough and there is no way to get it completely clean no matter how quickly I wash it. The manual tells you to move the gasket up and down but it's not really helpful. There is flour residue in the handle as well.The older models were better as they had no gasket or small crevices to clean.It's a design flaw in my opinion. Otherwise, it works well, but I would not buy another one. It's probably go with a Kitchenaid.

It is difficult to clean only if you don't rinse it immediately after using it... which has happened to me. I have kids, I get distracted :P

The most common problem seems to be gasket stretch. Parts are available from Nordic Ware at (877) 466-7342. Gaskets are very reasonable and the lady that helped was just delightful. Ask for Georgia! :)

Very good YouTube on how to do this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8eKHVvNX5eYwatched it a few times and had no trouble. Go ahead and buy the gasket too, it is easy to replace when you change the grease.

I had the same problem. The bottom just screws off and the gasket is easily replaced. Good Luck.

I was having the same exact problem and i couldnt figure it out. My assistant played with it and I think she put the gasket at the bottom or something and now it works. Unfortunately i didnt fix it, she did i dont know how to help you. I would suggest that you change the order in which the parts are inside the handle and see if you can get it to work.

I'm not sure what you mean. Did something happen to the gasket on yours or does it just leak? Mine retains liquid every time something is poured from it. It is a huge flaw in this product, wish I could find a new cover that fit and didn't leak.

I'm currently having the same issue. I bought a hand held gas detector & discovered that my new stove has a slight leak from one of the rings! I am waiting on a part from the stove manufacturer to be available (by next week) and will see if it changes the situation! I will recalibrate as directed by the supplier of the hood and will follow up here when I feel either all is okay or status quo!

I have used mine for several weeks and have had no problem with the gasket...or any of the other parts.

I had problems with the new gasket because it kept coming out the side. But finally got it to stay in place. I would never recommend using the old gasket if it doesn't work contact manufacture ri aee if the can send new gasket. So far over 80, 000 on pump in my truck

It seems to "fit" well. Perfectly...is another question. There seems to be a noise that wasn't there before and I don't know if it from the gasket or that the whole thing is just not "perfect." Nonetheless, it does work and I am as least able to blend with very little problem. Hope this helps.

I would have to agree, it sounds like the gasket isn't sealing properly. Just be sure there is no obstruction in either the lid vent or the vent hole of the weight. Mine has worked very well with no problems for a while now. Sounds like the seal isn't quite aligning.

Following back up on here about this. No issues still. Had mine installed in Feb. Took all the gaskets out and RTV siliconed them and put the gaskets back in. I think that's what has saved me. It is still bright and works great!

Hello there! I'm sorry to say (or is it good?) that we haven't had the Filter in that long to have to Clean it yet? I believe, but am not sure, that K&N; have their own type of Oil to Re-oil? Not for sure though? Sorry I couldn't be more help. Really like the Filter though! Seems to really help in the Midrange of the Power-band. Good luck! :0)

Not having any problems. Is it new or used? If new, contact company for exchange. If used is it the gasket? Or is there a crack on the outer casing?

Did you empty radiator for the 24 drying time? At any rate - another new radiator is a whole lot less expensive than a new head gasket.

I had the same problem. Fortunately my large housing gasket was still in very good shape so I reused it and discarded the O-ring.

Did it work before? Rubber gaskets can be the problem . Soak in mild soapy water dry completely and try again.
