Anyone else have trouble with the gasket? It worked great for a while and now it won't stay on the lid!

I have two and have not had that problem, but was wondering if there's a way to get replacements. Mine smells like coffee, which is fine when I am drinking coffee, but not so great with water.

sorry we have had our 5 for quite some time and haven't had any trouble with the gaskets, but we also wash them by hand and don't put them in the dish washer. I have had that warp gaskets in the past.

For those who are having trouble with the rubber gasket coming loose, have you taken it off previously? I've had mine for a year or so, with no problems, other than peanut butter getting under the gasket a bit. Not sure if I should take it off, so I have been cleaning it with the gasket intact.

Also, put the lid down off center then rotate it so it faces front. I highly recommend you buy a replacement gasket NOW. I have one of his cookers heading to the trash after an unsuccessful six month search

I had a similar problem with a Bunn. It was a bad gasket. Question is: How bad is the leak? If it is mild, I would not worry about it. If you are having to clean up a large mess each time I would look for someone who services this make of machine.

Following back up on here about this. No issues still. Had mine installed in Feb. Took all the gaskets out and RTV siliconed them and put the gaskets back in. I think that's what has saved me. It is still bright and works great!

Sometimes the seal can be a bit loose. Once it came off and stuck to the plastic lid. Have you looked inside to check?

Looks like the lid gasket is either worn or was sized wrong. If it's new they should send you a new one, otherwise you can look into getting a new gasket. Something that might work is adding layers of Teflon tape around the current gasket until it stays on, but note that whatever material you use could end up leaching into your beverage if the liquid contacts it.

I've had 2 of these. My newest one, the lid is definitely tighter, but still a one handed operation. If it doesn't get easier quickly, I'd get a different one. Is the seal glued on properly? Maybe it slipped??

Check the rubber gasket. If it is getting brittle, it will not seal. A cheap, easy fix.

I haven't had that problem, but needed a gasket. Called Slime and they were very responsive - hopefully they can help you out too.

They have changed it now. I find no problem at all in cleaning the gasket. There are now little open slots at the top that allow me to rinse under the gasket. They also have a little tool to use should something get stuck under there. But I have only had to use the tool once. I have had the product about 4 months and use it regularly. I only usually just need to rinse through the slots and it gets everything out.

I'm not sure what you mean. Did something happen to the gasket on yours or does it just leak? Mine retains liquid every time something is poured from it. It is a huge flaw in this product, wish I could find a new cover that fit and didn't leak.

Same thing happened to me and I couldn't find just the lid. I had to fix it using epoxy and carbon fiber. in the meantime I bought a new one. They're great thermos!!

I got this cooker a few years already and this happened to me sometimes. What I do is make sure the yellow button is not up and open the lid. I take and gasket out and reapply it again and put the lid back. It works. I guess somehow when I put the lid on the gasket doesn't fit tight enough so air and steam leak out and takes a long long time to build up the pressure. Good luck!

I replaced this quite a while ago, but you should just be able to unscrew black nut that holds the green top part (that holds the gasket in place) very easily. And then just reverse the process. Take a look at some of the other reviews for some good pointers. Good luck.

It used to get stuck on the can lid before and now it just won't turn on. I changed the batteries, even went out and bought new batteries and it won't turn on.

Sorry, I haven't owned mine long enough to need a new gasket. Have you tried contacting the company directly?
