The lid made cracking sound first time using it. The replacement lid made the same cracking sound. It seems the lid might shatter? Two in a row?

Have no idea, mine is still going strong and had no cracking noises that I noticed.

I'm with you Michele. There are two different sounds: the normal ratcheting the other commenters mention, and the "oh dear, I really think I just broke it" sound, which is accompanied by me having to push much harder than normal down on the lid. I've found this second sound occurs when the bag is somewhat full, and is a result of the closing mechanism being unable to twist the bag. I think it's a serious design flaw...we live in an apartment, and the people below us can hear the pail closing when it makes that second sound. Not great at 2am!

Never had this happen. My original finally just deteriorated after 12 years and I had to replace. Maybe wrap it in duct tape?

I bought one for my Mom, slightly different. They actually opened up a store locally and they said sometimes they get them in broken and will sell the lids then, but there aren't replacements to buy. If it broke during use, I would contact Teavana, they may replace it for you as I've had mine over 2 years now and it gets used every day and I've not had any problems with it.

Maybe. I never had that happen. I think the container would probably crack.

I did discover that the first time I used it I hadn't snapped lid all the way shut. Worked great after that. And yes you have to renew the disc every so often.

The first one i bought had a loud vibration like metal vibrating in the lid. I Returned it and the second one is quiet. You are going to hear the fan running if you are in the same room but nothing annoying. I use it 2 or 3 times a week and it works great

Regarding the lid....this is not a defect, btw. Due to the action of the rocks 'tumbling', the lid Will get thinner and develop a hole in the center. Replacement lids are about $4 each at rocktumbler.com.

I broke the lid on my first kettle after putting it on a tea towel, forgetting it was there and then moving the towel. I had had it less than two weeks. It was not much of a bump that it took but it broke quite badly. I feel that a regular glass would have survived if that offers some perspective. There are no replacements to be bought. I bought a new kettle as i really liked it and I am now very careful about where I set the lid down (it is clear so on a towel it is not easy to see).

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 have successfully opened one, but am not sure if it was luck or if using it lightly at a couple of different places on the lid kept it from bending. I have not tried it since. Sorry I can't be more help.

I've used this product about 6-8 times so far and absolutly love it. I seek out things to pressure can. As long as the little arrow on the lid lines up when I twist it closed, I have no issues at all. Sounds like something is defective and I would try to return it if you still can.

This happened to my lid handles from this crock pot and the other one I had from the same brand. I think there is something defective about it. If you look at the reviews you will see this happened to a number of people. Might just want to buy a different brand of crock pot.

I would email the Kruzco customer service, they replaced one for me because the lid wouldn't seat properly. Not had a problem with it shutting off after 4hours. K

I have not had any issues with it so far. Check the seal and make sure you secure the lid before using. If it continues to leak, contact Ninja for a replacement. Hope that helps.

Have not experienced your issues. No, DO NOT attempt a repair yourself. Please seek a qualified local appliance repair shop. It is normal for metal to "Make Sounds" when heated or cooled. If these "sounds" are new, different, unsafe, or not up to your standards, also consider replacement due to cost of estimated repairs.

That is a good question. I have tried prying it apart but then there was a bad cracking sound so I gave up and bought new ones.
