Have tried soaking in hot water for days but stopper will not come out...any suggestions?

Have only had this problem with drinking glasses getting stuck, one inside the other. Maybe instead of hot water just rap gently with a wooden spoon on all sides of the neck while gently pulling the spout. Cover with a cloth just in case of breakage. Good luck. Hope someone comes up with a better idea.

I have never had this happen but expansion by heat works on both of your glass pieces so it's not a surprise that the soaking has not been successful. I would try setting the cruet (on it's base) in a basin of hot water - since glass is not a great heat conductor you may be able to pull out the spout when the bottom warms up. Good luck.

Try dripping a little oil on the stopper then twist. I have not had that problem; I am able to just twist it out each time. I may be wrong, but I believe glass expands when heated. If I am correct, let the cruet cool, drip a little oil, then twist.

We haven't had this problem yet, but soaking it in the hot soapy water, as previously suggested should work. It is also helpful to pump some hot, clear water through the tube to make sure it's clear.

it may be stuck, if you look at it, you will see that it does come out. first pop it out, wash it warm water and then replace it so that when you turn it to close the dial part goes into the little lock looking part at the back. when you open it you turn the dial toward the front of the container in other words over the spout. that should open and close it for you. sometimes when they are new they stick. mine did too. i washed them all in warm soapy water and now they are all fine. i have four of these and they are great, they are made in new zealand and are a quality product. good luck!!

i did not have that problem. Have you tried contacting the manufacturer? Or else I would try a solution of water with vinegar and baking soda swished around. Just an idea.

Try putting the bottle head down in a small glass of really hot water, just cover the cap, not the whole bottle. Or try pouring acetone around the opening of the bottle.

It just pulls out. At least mine did. Try running hot water over the plastic for a minute or 2 to get it to expand a bit then turn the unit upside down, lightly tap the bottom a couple times, hold the glass in one hand & pull up on the plastic (while twisting) with the other hand. Dont force it tho!!!!! Its glass & can break. But this worked for both of mine.

I had the same problem as yours. But after I used Teflon tape as you did and let is leak little for a week or so, it stopped by itself. So hope it will happen to you also.

Try soaking head in 10% solution vinegar and hot water. If that doesn't work try 10% solution of bleach. Be sure to rinse well. Should clean head back to new

I usually shake it a bit to get it out. I have found though after time of using it that its quality of use has declined. I am not sure why, but the stuff gets trapped and its not coming out like it did before. Not sure why. I am going to contact Ozeri to replace it. They have great customer service.

I had the same problem! Let the pan soak in hot water for 5-10 minutes, then wiggle the paddle back and forth. After a minute, it should loosen and you can pull it off. If it doesn't, get a wash cloth and slide it under the paddle. Then pull upwards. That should do the trick!

Try this, remove the cartridge from the machine, run some hot water in a small container then submerge the heads in the water and let stand for a few hourspreferably over night, replace the cartridge and you should be good to go! Good luck.

I have had a the same thing happen, only mine didn't happen until several months after use. I'm not sure if this is the right thing to do, but I just "pop" it down with my hand kind of hard and it starts. As Scott said, it started doing that after I didn't get it sealed and it leaked. So I am guessing that there is just some "gunk" in there causing it to stick. If you wouldn't mind, please post what you find out from customer service. I am still able to use mine, but it continues to stick occasionally.

I'm finding that the stopper doesn't work well on all bottles. I've had success with Gloria Ferrer and Moet & Chandon. My advice would be to place the stopper on the bottle opening, press down to compress the spring, place the clasps around the ridge of the lip, and slowly release your pressure on the stopper top while holding the sides of the clasps.

the solution has probably crystalized in the tube. Try flushing it out with only hot, hot water and that may help, at least for the moment. Honestly you'll most likely end up buying another one.

take the top off, soak in hot water a few minutes, get a safty pin or needle and feed it through the front; put the bottom of the squirter in the hot water, pump the squirter, and see if this cleans out the clog, I'd do this once or twice before I'd return it

Try using a cleaning brush or a cloth & soap & water. I wouldn't submerge it.

Good news I tried something I took mine and rinsed it a few times under warm water then washed the whole thing in warm soapy water now it's nice and clean and good to go, it's all dry now so washing didn't ruin it. I couldn't get the filter out of mine either my friend has one same thing
