Is there a way to remove the "clicker" in the inside to avoid the noisy clicking while reeling in?

Yes, you might find that just making less pressure on the spring is a better solution. If the sound is the only problem just put a drop of silicone adhesive on the contact point.

Yes, the clicker is a plastic mud. You can cut it off with a pair of finger nail clippers. Of take a small flat blade screw driver and unscrew the metal retainer and remove the whole thing.

The click is definitely there. It takes a purposeful draw to remove the blade.

just a little extra umph/elbow grease. Not a trick, just takes some pressure to get the click

The click is not super loud... but it's definitely not inaudible either. Honestly, I've never thought twice about it till now.

I don't have mine open now, but recall that the secret was to remove more screws and wires, which I think allowed separating the desired section. I initially tried what looked like the easy way with just a few screws, but the opening was not large enough to take it out that way, because protruding parts prevented mine from sliding out. If that's not clear enough, I can open mine again to refresh my memory.

I figured out what the sound is, I think... There is a plastic ring inside the ring that screws on and on mine, the plastic ring is broken, thus the clicky sound because the inner shaft can't get tight.

Thank you! That was definitely part of my problem. One last question: when opening, I hear a pleasant ratcheting sound, which I don't hear when closing. Does yours not make that sound

If you have the tank seated, so it clicks in and feels secure, then I suggest contacting the manufacturer. Also, something to look out for, the wand connector is plastic and deteriorates over time. Mine broke a few months out of the warranty period and it cannot be replaced. I didn't move it back and forth very much; perhaps I should have.

I would contact the seller and see if they will replace...mine does have the separate clicks.

These have no click sound during the retrieve, it is completely silent. Obviously if the clicker is on thats a different story.I know the click sound you are talking about, but that is only on Okuma's low end models and not on the cold water series.

A LITTLE Vaseline on the small wheels may help the screech. I suspect that when the tray is pulled out it is moved to the side and does not make contact with the small formed stops and the caddy moves off the track. Also, pick up the top portion and insure that there is no small debris from normal kitchen activity on the lower portion. I have had mine for months and never had a problem and my son has had one for years without problems. Give it a try.

When that scraping sound occurs, just pull the plunger back up and then try to push it down again. The tight fit keeps the coffee grounds down keeping them out of the coffee. This does not appear to hurt the interior.

Hi. Just simply push all the way in. You will hear a click. Not too tricky at all.

Mine does the same thing, makes a loud clicking noise when mixing bread or thick cookie dough. Kitchenaid's response was: "The clicking noise is normal, especially under a heavy load." so it is a known problem. Personally, I would call this a design defect. No other motorized appliance I have ever used made noises unless it was broken. I may opt for a smaller model or a different brand.

I use a knife and gently press on each one of the tabs/fasteners. It takes a while. It's a real pain to get off.

I had the same issue a few weeks after using it. With mine, it was a small gap between the arm and the wheel on the axle in back. I tied a small piece of string around the gap on the axle, sort of a washer, and it stopped the clicking sound.

look it up on youtube. The suction inside makes it sound like gagging noises.
