Does anyone know how to get those plastic rings back into the lids and the blade attachment? I have only had this machine a month. Leaking now! :(

mine had fallenout only once. just make sure you push it in really well. i don't put mine in the dishwasher either. i just rinse after every use. maybe if you put it in the dishwasher it changed its size from the heat? if it diesnt work then return it. good luck!

We've had the same issue with our coffee maker. Unscrewed the plate on the bottom of the machine and found an orange "rubber" water hose had cracked and is leaking. I was able to remove the hose, off the cracked portion and reinstall with just enough length remaining, though this will probably happen again. I will go to a hardware store to look for replacement hose materials, its not too hard to replace with a needle nose pliers or forceps are best.I don't know if this is an issue with cheap materials or city water issues, nevertheless I was disappointed and will not be buying another Cuisinart. Its only about 1.5 yrs old. We've had the same issue with our coffee maker. Unscrewed the plate on the bottom of the machine and found an orange "rubber" water hose had cracked and is leaking.

I love this machine but I lost the yellow plastic wrench that came with it to change the blade, anyone know how to get a new one ?

I would like to know the answer to that question also. Can you just get the silicon ring replacements? Love the water pitcher. Worry about losing the ring

I ordered this to replace the lid that the latch had broken off the one I currently had. I did have a problem with the food processor blade attachment it didn't seem to fit so I tried using the blade I already had and problem solved. For some reason the blade that they ship does not seem to match up correctly in order to lock onto the blender base.

yes, the blade and driven gear is included, as is the rubber cap the second part of your question appears to indicate that your plastic body leaks around the bottom? - if so, it may be correct that the seal has worn out -

I had the same problem. You should be able to unscrew the lid. If not, use plyers. Then take a screwdriver amd just keep "stabbing" that flat part until you puncture it. All you need is a small hole. Hope that helps!

I would check and make sure the rubber seal is in place. Mine comes off after each use and I have to reattach it. Also try the dual lid trick. Otherwise mine works fine. Please note if the plastic has a crack, the jar sealer will not work.

I just went through this issue as well, with the New and Improved filters...as Special Etc mentioned, it was because I hadn't pushed down on the filter enough to create a seal. I could actually see water leaking out the bottom, in addition to it pouring out the 4 holes. After pulling it out, re-inserting it and pushing it down hard, it sat much better and the filtering was back to normal again.

Unscrew the bottom of the blender if the old ring will not come off with a little prying with the tip go a fork or thin screw driver. soak the part the ring is stck to in warm soapy water and it should come loose. Sometimes the ring gets tacky in old age. Good luck

Another reviewer commented on this same problem. He was instructed by customer support to push down on the clear plastic ring where the water reservoir connects to the machine. We had same problem but because of his review, tried that and the machined primed beautifully!

Yes. That is what I do, but the ring of the one I purchased AND the one that they replaced it with both have creases in the rings of the lid and it, therefore, leaks. I would use another company, personally. I hate that it is constantly leaking whenever we use it.

Yes, it has happened twice. We called and they sent us a replacement blade unit. It seems once the rubber gasket comes off, the unit is useless because the problem just re-occurs which means you have a mess on your hands when you use it. So we have a couple of useless units now just gathering dust.

I would agree with Brandt. The stainless steel cover for the blades must be locked in place or it will come loose and emit a shrill sound. I use mine at least 2 times per week. I've had the stainless steel cover come off. Be sure to take it off and at least rinse it after use. Sometimes pulp gets caught up in it and it can come loose.

there is a rubber ring around the outside of the rim. it acts as a leak preventive. it is kind of like the washer in a blender between the jar and the blade, but it has a groove that overlaps the lid and fits into around the edge. really makes it leak resistant

I had the leaking problem described here. Took the handle off and took the cartridge out. Looked fine - I noticed the cartridge nut was loose when I unscrewed it so I hand tightened it and it stopped leaking for a day. I took off the handle again and tightened the Cartridge nut with a wrench until snug (the nut is plastic and I did not know how tight it should be. Definitely don't over-tighten). The leak is gone but there is nothing in the documentation on how much to tighten.

Good Day! I haven't replaced the blades, but try ULINE as they have many supplies or may lead you to the right vendor. Good Luck! ~V~
