The top won't come off. I've tried from multiple angles, from the top and bottom... I've even used a screwdriver to try &amp; get it off. Help?

It's really hard to take the top off. I usually push the top right corner by applying upward force. Then the right top and bottom notches come off, then you do the same for the left side.

You have to unscrew it like a top. Hold the top grooves with your hands and twist it off, hope this helps. I've had mine for nearly 3 years and it is just now falling apart, need to buy a new one!!

Ah... :)You take a screwdriver that fits the screw and unscrew it as you would usually do (anti-clockwise).After a couple of turns it seems like the screw no longer holds the cover (the lid got a bit separated from the body), but it still won't come off, does it? :)Well, at this point you need to insert something thin (your fingernail?) in the crack between the cover and the body and just pull.Try pulling not from the center, but a bit closer to one of the edges - the cover latches to the body near the edges...

I used some pliers. They are very tight. I had to tare off a chunk of it and keep pulling on it until it finally came off. Good luck.

Oh goodness...I wish I could help. My husband got the top off with no problems. I was not watching him when he did it. But it does come off. Wish I could have been more help. It seems to be a very good filter, have had no problems at all.

Mine just comes apart easily, in fact it falls off if I lift up the metal part. Maybe because it's old. Sorry I can't be of more assistance.

I had the exact same problem! I finally just pulled the handle straight out with pretty strong force and it came out. Good luck.

Take off the plastic pieces on top all of them and the tool will just screw on the top and come off. If this don't help you let me know I will send you a video of me taking mine apart.

A tin shears might do it! IF it has gone all the way around, it should come off easily. However, as I recall, there is a silvery doodad to the left of center, and if you push this, it will release the lid. Good Luck! I'd return it if I were you. Send it along with the lid.

I am having the same problem! I have adjusted the screw and still no luck. I am at the point of getting rid of it and buying a new one. Very disappointing, especially considering how expensive they are. Wish I could be more help

The top of the knob comes off...you can see a slight line at the joint. Use a small screw driver or knife blade to gently remove it. There is a screw below the cap.

I think you should fold it down flat, press down on the edges while turning counter clockwise and it should come apart. It may take a few tries to get it back together, but be patient. Good luck!

If you start on one end and just bend the corner out on one side it will come off. You pull the corner up the slowly move your way down one side until you get to the other side. Don't pry it off. Getting it back on is the fun part. I just hooked one side and then poped the other side back on. I have only done this once and it didn't break so good luck.

The top is secured with silicone. You should be able to remove it and reattach it.

Tug, pull and pry carefully. Once it's on, it's kinda tough to get off but start with top and work your way around hard case...

I just took apart mine. There's two screws on the sides for the bottom section, two on top in the handle and one on the bottom on the bottom section. Takes those out then just force it apart. It's hard to force apart, but that's the only way.Sorry for the year late reply
