Has the water problem in the handles been fixed with this ricer now?

I'm not aware of any problem with the handles. I do know that the handles do not retain water. Hope this is helpful.

Not sure what the water problem is in the handles, but this ricer is great. I have tried other more expensive ricersand have not been able to handle them. This is easy to use!!

Unfortunately, we bought ours a year ago (December 2012) and I made sure to carefully keep it from the dishwasher or being soaked for washing. However, I went to the ER the morning after Christmas this year, and two days later after coming home I find that someone helpfully washed the ricer...and got water in the handle. Will probably have to drill some holes for drainage now. If you do get one, do your best to avoid any prolonged immersion or use in a dishwasher. Hope this helps.

Have not had that problem. We have well water and have had problems with the spindle that regulates water flow.

The handle is welded onto the lid so there are no holes. I have had no issues with water leaking in.

no,the handles are fixed to make sure the water not pull out when baby drinks.

There is an adjustment in the handle that can be made or the problem lies elsewere. My husband easily made the adjustment. We have been very happy with the handles! Hope this helps!

No, the handle doesn't fill with water, I think I know the one you have, I had it before this one and it was always turning green at the bottom. This one seems much better.

No there is not,we had the same problem,after a bit of discussion Amazon replaced. Depending on who you bought it from,(vendor) decides who replaces the handle. You wont need a plumber, easy fix just a handle issue. Call Kraus first...then Amazon.

If you really just bought it last summer then contact KitchenAid----They stand behind their products. Also---The handle is just a push-on so they may just send you a new handle.

The lid is fixed. I've had mine for over 4 years and removing the water catcher in the back and the steam plug inside the lid lets the unit be cleaned good enough. I wipe the inside of the lid after every use. I let the lid stay open over night and store it with the water catcher and steam plug off the unit. My rice cooker gets used 5-6 times a week (asian family) and we have never had a problem with it working correctly or a bad odor. Hope this helps...

Mine drips out of the bottom of the handle., def a design fault., they did replace mine free of charge., but after a month that one did the same :(

Yes, this kit will take care of the problem. It includes the water line and the handle.

I have had 3 of this same model pot because I love it but have the same problem. HB has been very quick to replace the pot but so far I have found NO solution to the problem. I have to keep a small sponge in the overflow area and change it daily. Seems HB could find a solution.

No, I haven't. I did replace the plastic knobs on the side that hold the handle in place.Apparently a common occurrence...

I have not had such a problem. Be certain that one handle is fully open, the other fully closed and the rubber washers fully seated. Good luck!

personally i had to tighten the rivets on the handle (used a hammer and a punch), and was still not very satisfied with the fit and finish. the slot in the handle seemed like it was cut a little too wide. That said, I soak ALL my wood handled kitchen utensils in mineral oil before using them to help prevent such problems from happening. But alas, all things turn to dust eventually. When it finally becomes a problem, 20 years from now, i will deal with it :)Lastly, if i had it to do over again i would have bought a 5 or 6" spatula. This one is ok, but i miss that extra length sometimes. personally i had to tighten the rivets on the handle (used a hammer and a punch), and was still not very satisfied with the fit and finish. the slot in the handle seemed like it was cut a little too wide.

I do not think they have. Also they have not corrected the cracking issue with the handles due to the stress and the laminated nature of the material

I haven't had a problem. Had mine since July 2013. It may have to do with the cleaners people use on it. I use an all natural cleaner.
