The only thing I can think may be keeping it from fitting flush is a small tab on the plate must fit into a slot as you slide it back into place, if this isn't in that slot it won't sit flush. This may not be your problem, but I have encountered that in my machine and that was the fix.

I had the same problem after a few years. If you're handy and don't mind putting some effort into it you can scrape off the Velcro (and most if the adhesive )from the metal. Go to Home Depot or other hardware store with a sample of the piece you ripped off and you can find a close enough match that has a sticky backing. Cut it to size and stick it on. Good as new.... Sort of.

Remove hopper flip the burr section over and make sure the o ring that seats the top burr is still intact. I hope this helps

I had the same problem until I realized I had not 'threaded' it correctly under the rail. Check it against the diagram (I know it's not easy to see) but I would bet your problem is there. Good luck.

Try switching around the feet and don't tighten anything until you get all the bolts through. If anything, you might have to drill a little, but I didn't have to. Just keep it kinda loose, until you get everything in.

If you haven't stripped them all try threading them completely then removing and putting on table. They aren't drilled well. If it's stripped completely maybe try a larger screw?

Mine all lined up flush. Check if a screw is sticking out too far that is stopping them from sliding all the way in. I had one that stuck out just enough that it stopped it from closing all the way but once tightened down more it was flush.

There is a long bolt that goes down..loosing it so it drops further and further down. There is an angled round piece with the threaded hole in it and you need to get the long bolt into that hole. Then tighten it up. It needs a lot of tightening.

This happened to me. Its stuck to the part it needs to unscrew from. I tightened it down first then it unscrewed.

I had the same problem at first. There's a knob at the bottom of the machine near the footplate (the diagram in the manual calls it the "short knob"); you need to pull this knob out and then slide the base of the machine out so that it extends fully. If nothing moves when you pull the knob, jiggle it a bit and keep pulling. It's a bit sticky but if you keep at it, you'll get it. It's easier to do with two people, but I managed it by myself too. Once you extend the machine, keep pulling until the short knob snaps back into a hole near the top--just keep looking for a hole in the metal bars. When the machine is fully extended, the seat will slide back and forth like it's supposed to. Hope this helps.

We also had this issue. I turned it over and drilled a couple of holes in it. Not ideal I know, but it worked for us. :)

I haven't had that problem since mine screws on and stays on till I take it off. If the design hasn't changed and the black tip still screws on, I would exchange it. That sounds like the threads aren't holding it in.

Yes, I experienced this. The primary issue I had was the metal plate was unbalanced and rubbed against the stainless at the opening. I tried unsuccessfully to rebalance and was never able to get it to work properly.

Take the threaded stud to a hardware or electrical store and see if they may have something that would work. An electrical store may have the exact replacement.

Our went together quite easily.Make sure the threads line up and do not force it.If the problem persists I am sure the company service department will have you fixed up in no time.

The holes on the base can be a bit out of alignment like happened to me. Turn the base bottom side up and do a little twisting of the heavy weight to make it work. Hope this helps.

Use a plastic screw (food grade and high temp suitable - e.g. for water lines) - that is the best option I can give you. The threads seems to be non-standard.You should also try getting the correct nuts from the seller.
