I noticed a piece of metal in the bottom screen part of the plunger. Looks loose. Broken or supposed to look like this? Anyone else seen this?

Hello My Friend, As I am looking at mine right now, the screen looks normal and all in one peice. However it has a plastic shroud that keeps the coffee grounds contained on the bottom of the cup. This shroud is braced by a single wire type spring that has two ends extending out from each side of the shroud. this is probably for easy removal by depressing each side you can easily compress and remove the spring. other than that, it looks my screen is normal and free from ragged edges and deformaties. I do wish you the best of luck and many cheers. Sean......

I agree wit the others.....sounds like your unit is missing the metal piece. Good luck!

After about a year of operation on my filter I noticed some water at the bottom of the gauge...pulled it out...shook the water out...after awhile it returned...shortly later the gauge stopped working altogether (would not register...just stayed at 0)....so I would say, from my experience at least, water in the gauge is a sign that the gauge is getting ready to die.

I had the leaking problem described here. Took the handle off and took the cartridge out. Looked fine - I noticed the cartridge nut was loose when I unscrewed it so I hand tightened it and it stopped leaking for a day. I took off the handle again and tightened the Cartridge nut with a wrench until snug (the nut is plastic and I did not know how tight it should be. Definitely don't over-tighten). The leak is gone but there is nothing in the documentation on how much to tighten.

the screen can get bent inward slightly around the lip, putting constant pressure on the key pad.I used, very carefully a razor blade edge and picked it up. it started working again normally..I did order a replacement screen as the issue happened time to time when dropped..stuff happens!

Sorry but I can't help because the new one I purchased to replace the plastic one has been installed. I would have to remove it to check inside. However the plastic model does route the water through plastic to the discharge. It was still functional, so I kept it as a spare. It was replaced only for cosmetic reasons because the chrome plating was coming off of the plastic.

I just looked at mine. I noticed that I also had something rattling around inside. Sounded like a small piece of plastic. I saw no easy way to open. It doesn't affect the operation. I'm going to leave it and not worry about it. It's probably just something loose from the manufacturing process.

I havn't had that prob-I hand wash. Top knob does unscrew so you can pull plunger out. Maybe then shake water out?

I have not experienced that with mine. Sounds like thermal expansion of metal. If its under warranty have it replaced, otherwise love it or leave it!

I think there is a rubber piece on the top. Pull that back and it might be in there. Haven't used mine in a while.

Unscrew that black piece on the top of the plunger. You have to feed the plunger part up from the bottom to get it in right.

I've had two that I ordered recently and neither of them sounded like they had loose parts. Both have worked flawlessly. I'd send it back for a new one.

If you've been able to use it before and this just suddenly happened, it's probably broken. The same thing happened to mine after only two weeks. I had cleaned it twice before this occurred, so I know that wasn't the cause. I returned mine to Amazon.

I have not had any issues with my machine. The screen is made of metal in this model; I'm not familiar with the previous model, but this really is a great juicer!

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.

Hi Erica. I found the metal handle hard to get up and down but someone said there is a special tool that comes with it which you have to have to get out the blade basket. However, since I had only used mine twice last year, I have forgotten that. Since the plunger was hopelessly stuck in mine, I tossed it in the dumpster and bought a Hamilton Beach Big Mouth Pro, and love it. It is super easy to clean and I get 2 or 3 times as much juice. Hope you find your answer though!

I'm sorry to hear you had a problem. Mine arrived in perfect condition, and I've been using it daily with no problems. I'm sure Amazon will help with the return and sending another one to you. I LOVE mine!
